Is she though? I have my doubts at the moment. She clearly is better than what she's been up against so far this year, but how good have they actually been?
The Falmouth was full of Gr2 and Gr3 horses. Yes I know the race contained Heaven Sent, Spacious and Rainbow View but the first two are genuine group 2 or 3 fillies and the last is clearly no where near as good as she was at two.
Then the French race. Aqlaam, hardly a superstar. Virtual who is another good filly but not really Gr1 calibre. Gladiatorus is good but only in Dubai and he's 20lbs below his best when in training with Godawful.
I don't want to knock her at all, but I just think too many people are going over the top about her after two easy wins over inferior opposition.
