What records (plural, your term) did she "shatter" in the Mother Goose? From what I can tell see, she ran 1:46.33, besting Lakeway's prior stakes record of 1:46.2. Hardly shattering. And let's keep in mind that the Belmont surface that afternoon was lightning fast. Pretty weak 7,500 claimers ran 6F in 1:09.2, and an off-the-turf maiden race saw 6F completed in 1:08.3. As Birdrun recently established at the Belmont Fall meeting, the track more often than not establishes records than the horses.
