She was born in the right year.

Its a weak division for sure. I wasn't comparing her to Ruffian thats for sure.
As far as teh Demoiselle, I think you are completely off base. Its the day Purge won the Cigar Mile, and that rodent of Hushions wired the last race at 20-1 or so and Bluegrass cat wired the remsen. Speed bias existed. Pace was slow, Wait A While is a very nice horse, and she still blew by her. Fell apart is a nice trem to use when a horse someone doesnt like or care for blows by a field. Id say Wait A While has vindicated the horses who came out there quite nicely since then. Dream trip? No way, insanity.
