I get what you say about Echo Zulu. I can't really explain why, but if she makes the KY Oaks, I want no part of her. She needed the race today and I'll probably eat crow but I think she's going to be one of those horses that doesn't really progress from 2 to 3

She feels like an Acorn/Test horse. That's not a bad thing, but I doubt she excels in the longer races. My guess is at heart, Asmussen feels similar ( not that he would like to admit agreeing with me about anything ).

I also think you may be right that she didn't improve. I also wonder why it took so long to get started this year.
