She not only relished the extra distance, but improved 4 lengths in the stretch run. I can see the same scenario tomorrow.

At this point I'm using Family Tree and Going for Broke with her as both can shade a wicked early pace and not lose touch. Family Tree looks like she could be sitting on a big move up in class. I think Go Maggie Go is going to be a pace victim.
Going for broke is very interesting in this race. May add with songbird
