Wow. She can run a little bit. She was supposed to do it to that bunch but this gal can flat out fly. 1:08.94 with absolutely no encouragement.

It was over at the break. She broke as sharp as possible. Entering the stretch, the only question was by how much. Looking forward to seeing this one go forward into stiffer competition.

This was a very intelligent placing by Kiaran McLaughlin as she was put in a tough spot 1st off the maiden win and was very game to finish 2nd to Gemswick Park by a nose.

She can definitely run and considering how disappointing Xtra Heat's prior two foals were, this was a terrific performance.

Xrated Cat was certainly a disappointment, but Southwestern Heat could run a little bit, just had no stamina.

This one is something special though- her debut was spectacular as well.

What do you think the over/under is for how many starts she makes?

What makes you think she might not be durable? Xtra Heat made 35 starts and Elusive Quality made 20. She seems to be of pretty good size and her stride is extremely long.

More importantly, since you don't like the questions that are being asked of you today, do you think their long-term goal with this filly will be the Test?

Good call here. I was disappointed that she wasn't in the Cicada but they had to give her time off. While her mom was as sturdy as they come this one may be too fast for her body. She is a good one. I looked for this thread as I remembered your comment here. Nice call on that first race yesterday (11th) at Aqueduct by the way.
