Not to mention handle a dramatic surface switch from dirt to synthetic.
She also won the stake at Santa Anita against winners. I used the debut race to say that in my eyes, she has proven she can run well fresh, how how much she should win by. In my opinion, I didn't see the same pureness in her running that I did in her two races last year. But again, I'm not saying that she ran a disappointing race but only that the results didn't meet the expectations that I had for her. Judging by the responses in this thread, I don't think I'm alone. I don't think many people expect 2/5 shots to be all out to nose out 25/1 shot either. But hey, maybe yesterday was exactly what you expected so you are thrilled. I don't know.
