she put away all the speed in the Preakness and still beat the closers in a race that set up perfect for MTB and Musket Man. on a track that you can clearly see, especially now after she just rolled over belmont, that she didnt handle Pimlico the same as Belmont and Churchill. After her race Saturday it became obvious.
Ginger Punch was okay.. nothing too special... After watching her few wins at Saratoga is snail like fasion she was nothing more than okay... prolly no better than Musket Man/MTB.
