Princess Karen fought off all comers and held firm in the late stages to earn her first stakes victory in the Beverly Lewis S. at Los Alamitos. A debut victress at odds-on last October, the $82,000 Barretts July purchase was fourth behind 'TDN Rising Star' Unique Bella (Tapit) in the GII Santa Ynez S. before annexing a Santa Anita optional claimer Mar. 10. Seventh after chasing the pace of another Rising Star, Paradise Woods (Union Rags) in that one's GI Santa Anita Oaks romp, she was last seen running fifth after dueling on a blistering pace in the Angel's Flight S. May 14. Let go at 6-1 in this spot as the money poured in on GSW Faypien, Princess Karen took command in the early stages and led through sharp fractions of :21.45 and :44.56. Seeing off a host of challengers in early stretch, she skipped clear by the eighth pole and came home a convincing winner over the favorite, who narrowly got second. Princess Karen has a juvenile half-sister by Jimmy Creed and a weanling Morning Line half-brother. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
