It was. She wasnt a multiple grade 1 winner last year either. She came into last year having won only listed races in dubai and a couple of grad3 3 races in chile and the saratoga race was her first race of any kind in North America. Since then she beat ginger punch on the dirt, finished second to zenyatta on synthetic and won a grade 1 on turf.
It just seemed like an odd placing for such an accomplished horse...to me anyway. Imagine if Zenyatta had opened the year in a listed stake.
