The undefeated Miss Code West will likely launch her 3-year-old season in a Kentucky Oaks points race at either Oaklawn Park or Sunland Park. She’s wrapped up a 2-year-old campaign in which she won all four of her starts, capped by the Trapeze on Dec. 15 at Remington Park. It was the third consecutive stakes win for the filly – and her second at a mile. A few days later, Miss Code West was voted Remington’s horse of the meet for owners Jeff and Julie Puryear and trainer Kevin Scholl. “She’s exciting,” Jeff Puryear said. “We’ve talked about two possibilities for her next start. One of them is the Martha Washington at Oaklawn and the other is the Sunland Park Oaks.” Both races will award Kentucky Oaks points on a scale of 20-10-6-4-2. The $250,000 Martha Washington is Jan. 27 at Oaklawn, and the $250,000 Sunland Park Oaks will be run a month earlier than usual, on Feb. 18. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

She set the pace in the mud, withstood a bid from Tx Women for Arts, and covered the mile in 1:39.13. The race was run on the undercard of the Springboard Mile, which went in 1:39.91. “She impressed me,” Jeff Puryear said. “I was thrilled beyond words. She went to the front and dared them to come get her and when that horse came after her, she just took off. “Later in the night, when the boys ran in the Springboard Mile, those [first] two [finishers] dueled head and head through the whole race and her just loping around there, she ran faster than they did.” Floyd Wethey Jr. has ridden Miss Code West in all of her starts. She is now based at Sam Houston. The Puryears purchased the Oklahoma-bred Miss Code West at the Texas Thoroughbred Association’s yearling auction at Lone Star Park. “When I first looked at her, she kind of jumped out at me,” said Jeff Puryear, who has been in racing 50 years. “I was very impressed with the way she did everything.” Miss Code West is from the second crop of Code West and is his first stakes winner, according to Bryan Hawk, who bred the filly. Hawk stands Grade 3 winner Code West at his WestWin Farms in Purcell, Okla. “She was one of the first babies born at WestWin Farms,” Hawk said of the 155-acre facility. “She was quite something. She always had personality.” Hawk said Miss Code West’s dam, Inca Miss, is currently in foal to Code West and due in February. Hawk has enjoyed watching his stallion’s star, Miss Code West. “She’s undefeated, won at three different distances,” he said. “It’s really kind of surprised me he’s produced so much tactical early speed, considering Code West was a mile and an eighth type of horse.” It’s a pedigree that should continue to serve Miss Code West as the distances increase at age 3. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
