If her SA Derby showed her to be tons better than the CA males, then perhaps Goodbye Halo was a Derby quality filly too because judging by her relation to WC, she was the second-best 3yo in CA that year. I think perhaps Eight Belles hasn't been dominating her division on appearance is because she's been facing some pretty decent fillies. I think Pure Clan is better than anything she would have faced in the Arkansas Derby.

I learned that she was a superior horse. Beating Goodbye Halo didnt prove that. Crushing males in a major Derby prep does. You cant compare WC with these fillies because they have very little in common other than being female.
