She isn't exactly a female Seattle Slew to say the least - her tremendous raw speed has allowed her to win a pair of weak Grade 1 routes inspite of her staggering home late in both races.
Her dam was a confirmed sprinter...and there isn't exactly anything you can pull out of the pedigree in a desperate attempt to make her look like she will stay 10 furlongs inspite of her clearly showing she can't on her 2yo form.
She probably has a much better shot of winning next years F&M Sprint than the Ky Oaks - let alone the Derby.

None of the horses in her pedigree are running in the race so they don't matter. She is. Would you believe an Elusive Quality and Tale of the Cat offspring exacta in a race in which some of the other fancied horses were by Gulch and Pulpit? Pedigree is not as important these days as it used to be.
