Proctor's Ledge ran in spots, but settled for seventh on debut at Churchill Nov. 26, and blew up the tote at 49-1 last time when donning cap and gown going nine panels on GI Pegasus World Cup International Day Jan. 28. Off a touch slowly from her rail draw, the 3-1 shot was content to bide her time at the back while hugging the fence through early splits of :23.88 and :48.03. Taken off the pine into the home bend, she began to inch forward under a very quiet Corey Lanerie, swung wider still into the lane and was ridden out to gallop home as she pleased, scoring by 3 1/4 lengths while getting her final quarter in :23 flat, according to Trakus. Taperge (Tapit) was second. The winner is a half to Mission Driven (Awesome Again), SP, $151,975. Archstone is a half to Puerto Rican champion Storm Allied (Stormy Atlantic). She is responsible for a juvenile Bodemeister filly named Hadriana and foaled a filly by Street Sense last spring before being bred to Orb. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $53,083.
