At 11h40, on May 24, 2023 • By HARRAH'S PHILADELPHIA
Beach Cowgirl, a 3-year-old daughter of Captaintreacherous, won her Tuesday morning (May 23) qualifier in 1:52.3 at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Beach Cowgirl was undefeated in four starts at 2 and won her final 2022 start, her Pennsylvania Sire Stakes championship, in a world record 1:50, also at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Joe Bongiorno, driving the fast filly for trainer/sister Jenn and the ownership of Joseph Di Scala Jr., Zippett Racing Stable, Scarlett Stables and JAF Racing, hustled her right to the top and set fractions of :29.2, :58.1, and 1:26, then rambled home in :26.3 to defeat her contemporary Earthwindfire, a winner of $321.484 and the Kentuckiana Stallion Management Stake at 2, by 2-1/2 lengths; that pair were 44 lengths ahead of the third horse.
