Good example of Lakeway, didn't she drown Inside Information in the Mother Goose and ended up looking unbeatable, and 2-5, in the Alabama where Heavenly Prize blew her doors off? In defense of Lakeway, she may have ultimately been injured, but certainly there was no bias against her.

What about Balance this year? She went to Keeneland with OK looking pps but somehow was hailed as the second coming, ran poorly in the Ashland and was still favored in the KY Oaks. What was the bias against her?
