She was 4-for-4 with four triple digit Beyer wins on synthetic coming into the race ... and the other big names hadn't tried it yet.
A New York bred based out of Finger Lakes was 2nd. That horse had 3 sharp wins in a row over PID in her last 3 tries ... and couldn't outrun a goat on dirt. I think handicappers are just much more tuned in that proven form over the surface - or at least a similar surface - is very key.
