Respectfully, kind Sir, are 
you being sarcastic?
Didn't she win or place in G1s in South Africa, England, Hong Kong and here (not to mention running in Dubai)?
She never ran away from competition, she ran toward it.
Put me on the list of those who think she was brilliant. 
How many G1 winners were in this field?
