   Purchased privately from Saul and Max Kupferberg and transferred from trainer John Parisella off a starter optional claiming win in April, Peace Preserver took a first-level allowance at Monmouth two starts later July 4. The bay was a close second in the Oceanport oval's Desert Vixen S. 24 days later, and filled the same slot in Saratoga's Riskaverse S. last time Aug. 31. Peace Preserver traveled in midpack early as Assateague opened up a double-digit advantage. She came four wide in the lane as the frontrunner began to drop anchor, and blew by that rival and stablemate Channel Lady for the decisive first stakes score.
