She's more than a throwback and, as Watchmaker said in his column in tomorrow's DRF, the kind of horse for which the Hall of Fame was created.

I looked at a friend sitting next to me on Saturday and asked him how anyone on the world could bet any other horse but her in the F&M Turf. 6/5 was a gift as I thought she towered over that field by a mile.
