The most credible evidence that the race was "94" was the effortless ease Bisou won with IMO. I realize the race wasn't fast, just another case were the fig a nominal tool in projecting any of these 3 fillies next start.

Lot of double talk there Fred. Midnight Bisou, with total ease, got pretty much the same fig she always gets. Why is that hard to believe? Do you really think the Gazelle fig is one you want to rely on going forward for any of these horses? Otherwise, what makes you think My Miss Lilly is particularly fast? Road to Victory? I don't know, but maybe at the end of the day she will prove better on the grass. QE II at Keeneland in October?
