After easily winning the fourth race at Presque Isle Downs last Wednesday night, I’am Toorific was named the agameofskill.com Claimer of the Week. The dark bay mare seized the lead when the gate opened under rider Ricardo Feliciano and led the field every step of the way in the $5,000 claiming event over a mile as the favorite. The six year old mare stopped the timer at 1:38.53 for her third win of 2013 and returned $5.00 to her supporters. Owned by Anne Walsh and trained by Ryan Walsh, the daughter of Teton Forest has fallen in love with artificial surfaces. Of her 6 career wins 5 have been on artificial surfaces. Her career earnings now exceed $94,000 and she has been in the money 14 times from 37 starts. I’am Toorific was sold at auction in 2008 for only $1,700.
