It's interesting that the other in the money horses out of her initial race have come back to perform very, very well on the dirt. (Of course, they had worse trips than she did.)

Does something in her stride/racing style indicate that she won't be able to handle the dirt? If anything, there's been steady improvement in her form/footwork from race to race.

I never said there was anything wrong with her being just a turf horse. I love turf racing. All I said was she hasn't shown that she can run well on the dirt.

She's a very talented horse. Whether or not she's a " very talented dirt horse " has yet to be determined. We'll see. In my opinion, if Frankel thought she was a dirt superstar her debut would have come on the dirt.
