  Gulfstream Park, Race 5, Alw, 40,000, NW1X, 3yo, f, 6f, 1:09 4/5, ft

  Keep The Peace, F, 3, by Touch Gold

1st Dam: Look Upon (SP, $144,960), by Carson City

2nd Dam: Notice Me, by Distinctive

3rd Dam: Bluffers Song, by Big Bluffer

Keep the Peace cruised to a 4 1/2-length victory in her Nov. 9 debut at Churchill Downs and was the 2-1 chalk to make it two in a row. The $65,000 KEESEP yearling went right to the front and cut out a half in :45.33. Jockey Edgar Prado had her in hand as the riderless Ballynoe (Distorted Humor) joined them on the lead on the turn, but Keep the Peace still opened up on her rivals in the final furlong, hitting the line seven lengths in front of Be Fruitful (Pulpit). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $48,552.
