True, and she looked pretty good doing it, BUT that was against maidens and it is hard to guage anything decisively off of that....she has also romped on the dirt and slop against stakes rivals - so it is safe to say that when she fires big it isn't uncommon to see that type of performance from her on any surface....nice filly though...no doubt about it...we'll see how nice down the road....I'm not ready to put her in the class of Cesario, who really impressed me winning this last year because she blew away Melhor Ainda and not the garbage that ran behind Wait a While on Saturday.

I'll give you that, Cesario was awesome. Too bad she got hurt, would've loved to see her again. Let's hope Melhor Ainda comes back strong, could be an interesting summer and fall.

Wow, that is sick, freakin Greater Good sets the track record at CD for 7.5f. Granted they dont run that distance often, but Greater Good!?!? I've been watching this horse finish up the track all spring/summer at Oaklawn & Churchill and now he's a track record holder at CD. Wow, guess it's true what they say...on any given race day! Damn, Greater freakin Good...unbelievable

Yep, Cesario beat a really good filly in Melhor Ainda, who came back to be third (though she was the best) in the Beverly D......If she ever gets back, she's going to be awfully tough to beat.
