Filly Speaks alert move out of the pocket down the backside after a slow first half carried her to victory and a series sweep in Wednesday’s (April 21) $22,250 final of the Ruby Cook Memorial Pace for three-year-old fillies at The Meadows.
After Oceans Apart waltzed through the front half in :58.1 over a “good” surface, Tony Hall decided to vacate the two-hole earlier than usual.
“I was kind of concerned about the slow numbers,” Hall said. “I wanted to trip her out today because the track’s been sluggish and the front end’s been tiring.”
Filly Speaks went on to down Oceans Apart by three-quarters of a length in 1:55, collecting her fifth consecutive win overall. Peep N Weep completed the ticket.
Filly Speaks was all out to do it, but she captured her second-consecutive series win and fourth overall in the Ruby Cook Memorial Pace on Wednesday (April 7) at The Meadows.

Throughout 2020 island communities have shown a willingness to adapt to external shocks, and these four trends highlight global changes that could provide both challenges and opportunities.
