Peterson wins first stakes on Share the Ride in Mr. Prospector

Share the Ride and jockey Ferrin Peterson registered their first career stakes wins Saturday, when the pair took the $100,000 Mr. Prospector wire to wire at Monmouth Park.

Share the Ride won the six-furlong Mr. Prospector by 3 3/4 lengths over Awesome Anywhere. It was another length and a quarter back in third to a fast-closing Mind Control, who had a wide trip Saturday.

Peterson, who is in the midst of a strong meet at Monmouth, was aboard her eighth mount in a stakes. Share the Ride was moving back to dirt after racing on turf in last weekend’s Grade 3 Red Bank at Monmouth.
