Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 10, 2022 Journalists Posted July 10, 2022 Well supported at 39-10, BUTTERBEAN (f, 3, Klimt–Letting Go, by Johannesburg) completed a most productive Saturday for the Ken McPeek barn, accelerating sharply three furlongs out before cruising home to a handy success in Saturday's GIII Iowa Oaks at Prairie Meadows. A convincing 5 3/4-length winner of the local Oaks prep in the June 11 Panthers S. over a mile, the chestnut was dragged back to last and dropped down onto the fence to caboose the field through an opening couple of furlongs in a solid :23.50. Content to bide her time in the rear, Butterbean had one beaten entering the turn, but made eyecatching progress inside at the three-eighths pole. Tipped out under a full head of steam by Glenn Corbett, Butterbean raced up to odds-on Falconet (Uncle Mo) with a bit more than a furlong to travel and scampered clear to score impressively. Free Like a Girl (El Deal) made the running inside of Falconet and held gamely for third. McPeek was also represented by GI Belmont Derby upsetter Classic Causeway and Runaway Wife and Silverleaf, second and third, respectively, in the GIII Indiana Oaks.
