That's the name of the 3yo German filly who won the Arc by 5 lengths in course record time ... and what a monster race it was.
She's now won three straight Group 1's -- each win by 5 lengths or more. She's won four of her last five races -- each by 5 lengths or more.
Only defeat was a 5th by a length in a complete merry-go-round race at St Cloud.
The winner of that race went wire-to-wire, 2nd place finisher was 2nd throughout, and 3rd place was 3rd throughout -- she "Settled towards rear, swung wide entering straight, ridden and progressed final 1 1/2f out"
Would have been fun to see her here off of such a herculean race. It was almost like watching a 3yo filly version of Harbinger's big performance last year.
