While her place in history is grossly exaggerated, there's no denying that it takes a special horse to implement that particular running style and still own a perfect record (no matter who the competition may be). Horses that spot the field open lengths at the break EVERY time out, are bound to 'reap what they sew', sooner or later.
I find it compelling that her career's most interesting litmus test also doubles as her swan song. Those that knock her have ample opportunity to bet against her at the end of the month.
