This is my last post on the subject as I need to spend my time handicapping these races good Luck to everyone and especially to those "experts" that deem anyones opinion but their own as "stupid".

I agree with you. Its actually pretty clear cut. The system was set as is, nothing was said until after her 114 beyer. Funny thing about her, for me, is that every other race in her career just makes her a contender. It would be different if Todd didn't have a track record with this stuff. Now Im fully aware a few of his horses have carried the Gulfstream form to Belmont, but Im still dubious with this filly on Friday.
