A) She incurred physical problems thaqt almost retired her and did put her on the shelf for a couple of years

B) She ran winning races in her last three starts and hung in her losses to Fleet Indian last time out and to Spun Sugar at Saratoga, and she was up against Fleet Indian being lone speed in the race prior to her last....when you run three wining races and don't get the win picture for any of them, well, I would call that as 'hard luck' as it gets...she has done it to herself though...I will say that...she is a hanger and should have put Fleet Indian and Spun Sugar both away IMO in those races...

Ive always liked this filly....
