She is quality through and through, but honestly she has very little shot of winning the Derby. And in my opinion they would be doing her a disservice by running her. Agree with earlier post that in this class she pretty much is guaranteed to be first or second in this years Oaks barring the unforseen. Why throw her into a 20 horse field, especially since her style unless I am wrong is to come from of the pace. Traffic trouble then also becomes an issue as well as racing luck. Winning Colors did it by going wire to wire and avoiding this trouble.

She might prove to be a nice filly and I believe she will do some big things is she stays healthy, so am hoping she avoids the Derby

no the oaks will be a better fit for her.
to be it does not matter that she will have 6 races under her belt with some being two turns.
