and dont give me that crap about her not being in top form in 2005.
they still brought her over.
she ran a bang up race a month later in HK.

my only point is that she was beatable, just as Wait A While was shown to be.
she came back and so will Wait A While(I assume she stays in training).

intercontinental deserved her win last year -- crafty ride, stole away with it -- fair enough.

but do you really think she would have held ouija board off for another eighth of a mile had the BC been anywhere but Belmont Park?

Ouija Board would have been best that day too if the race were at 1 3/8 miles. Could have made a huge difference.
