I'm not saying she isn't a really good horse or even a special one. But there is a difference between a really good one that beats the horses in their area over and over again and one that travels the world and beats the best. I think to compare Makybe Diva and Ouija Board is a total injustice to Ouija Board. Could Diva be better and beat Ouija Board? Possible. But Ouija is the proven world class competitor that Diva isn't.
