Family Tree Wins Iowa Oaks at Prairie Meadows

Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa was the scene of the $200,000 Grade 3 Iowa Oaks on Thursday, June 30 - a 1 1/16 mile dirt test for three year old fillies. Gary and Mary West's 3-1 second betting choice Family Tree emerged victorious for her first stakes win - by two lengths over rival, 7-1 shot Ready to Confess who finished second in the field of 10 and Put Da Blame On Me who got in for third at 14-1 odds. For All the Grands closed from last for fourth, followed by Marquee Miss, Just Wicked, Alotta Skirt, Bonita Cat, Thrilled - the 8-5 favorite who finished a disappointing ninth, and Kiss N Scat, to complete the order of finish. Emmzy scratched in favor of an Allowance at Santa Anita which she won.
