Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 6, 2019 LADY APPLE (f, 3, Curlin–Miss Mary Apples, by Clever Trick) justified even-money favoritism with a gritty score in the GIII Iowa Oaks Friday evening. Pressing Ulele (Candy Ride {Arg}) from second through opening splits of :23.36 and :47.39, the bay drew on even turns with the pacesetter at the top of the stretch and the stage was set. The pair battled stride-for-stride down the line, both refusing to yield, but Lady Apple pushed past a relentless Ulele in the dying strides for a narrow success in 1:43.33. Lady Apple took a few tries to break her maiden, finally breaking through at fifth asking at Oaklawn Feb. 7, and has been on a roll since. Following suit with an optional claimer score in Hot Springs Mar. 23, she won the GIII Fantasy S. there Apr. 12 and was most recently third in the GI Kentucky Oaks May 3. Lifetime Record: 9-4-2-1. O-Phoenix Thoroughbreds III & KatieRich Farms; B-KatieRich Farms (KY); T-Steve Asmussen.
