Such a nice horse.

She'll definitely hit the board...

Maybe I'm nuts but I'm using her in the top spot in a couple of plays.
At some point on ATR after the discussions on Midnight Lucky, Dreaming of Julia, etc. Princess of Sylmar was mentioned and I remember thinking (and I want to be clear, no redboarding because she wasn't my pick) "you watch, that one will win just because we're giving a lot of attention to some of the others and one of the other nice fillies will sneak in there." Wasn't shocked at all that she won. Just basic science, aka the Murphy's Law Effect.
