Beaten 22 lengths by Pleasant Home in the Distaff.
Beaten 16 by Spun Sugar in the Apple Blossom.
Beaten 21 by Round Pond in the Distaff.
She was smoked all 5 times she left Cal. You can kind of see why the guy isn't a big fan of shipping all over when he's trying to protect a win/loss record. |
Loved, loved, loved this filly to death. How many horses break their maidens in a Gr. I? She ultimately only would win races at Hollywood, but ran great plenty of times elsewhere. It was Shirreffs aggressive handling of her that telegraphed Giacomo for me in the Derby.
