"I said to the Triple Crown boys she wasn't a Golden Slipper filly, she was more of a Sires and Champagne type," Ryan said.
We just aimed her towards that and the owners have been understanding."
"She's a good filly. Kerrin McEvoy said from her first start she's a genuine filly."
The victory takes the overall record of Peggy Jean to 2 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third from 5 starts for earnings of $894,525.
Peggy Jean was purchased by Triple Crown Syndications for $46,000 from the Torryburn Stud draft at last year's Inglis Classic Yearling sale, having been pinhooked for $25,000 from the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale by Belmont Bloodstock.
She is the first foal of Lady of Love, an unraced half-sister by Lago Delight to stakes-placed Prince of Dane from the family of Group I winners Lady Jakeo and Mrs Onassis.
A full brother to Peggy Jean was purchased by Keith Dryden for $110,000 from the Phoenix Broodmare Farm consignment at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
Lady of Love has a filly by Denman and was covered last spring by Beautiful Crown (USA).
Bred by Ascot Heath Pty Ltd, Peggy Jean becomes the first Group 1 winner for Vinery Stud's shuttle stallion Myboycharlie (IRE), whose previous most successful performer was Group II winner Charlie Boy, another Triple Crown Syndications purchase trained by Ryan.
