It can happen...
I always thought it was an old wives tale, but apparently it is possible to win a Turf Route race with an Allowance galloper...a Graded stakes race at that...

Re: It can happen...
I think she’s still an allowance, I’ve had plenty allowance horses put in works like that only to turn out to be sad allowances anyway. But I’m impressed by this filly! Congrats Garret, what a nice surprise!

Many moons ago, Brunner, an allowance turf router, also won me a G3. So definitely not impossible! Brunner’s win

Re: It can happen...
Are you sure she's still an allowance? She hasn't been galloped/worked since Week 4/7, so it's hard to tell.

Re: It can happen...
Can confirm still (high) allowance.

Re: It can happen...
Garrett, Congrats on the win!
I have this one, Night Command
She's still listed as a productive...as I haven't galloped her since year 50. It could be she upgraded at some point, but I don't know if she's an allowance or a stakes...or just a really nice productive that found some easy races.
In year 52 she started winning stake races, including a G3 in Year 52 Week 9 -- and this year she won a GII in Week 11, and a stakes race just this week, on Monday. She's 5 now and this will probably be her last year.
I hope your little filly has a nice long career filled with stake wins : )

Re: It can happen...
I had an allowance 2 YO turf router win an unlisted stakes last night Groundhog's Day
His speed figure wasn't impressive, but winning by 3 3/4 lengths easily is encouraging.

Yep, it totally can. I was over the moon when this little idiot got a grade two.
