I saw Thorpedo Anna race at Oaklawn before she became rich and famous. Normally, I don't have a clue about whether a horse will do well based on looks, but even I could tell she might win her race. She appeared to be a big filly and she absolutely danced up to the gate which seemed to indicate she was ready to run a big race. Did me little good to have that impression though as she was in the outside gate and by the time they get loaded into that gate, it's too late to wager.

Considering her race in the Travers, 4/5 seems generous. Hope she can carry the weight of my opinion. I've been known to undo the chances of many a good horse in my time.
