She could turn out to be an incredible filly, but saying she absolutley belongs in the derby after beating up on small and suspect fields at Oaklawn and Fairgrounds this winter, it's a bit of a stretch.
The fact that NO ONE in the entire Derby field has a higher average last four Beyers than her says to me she wouldn't be out of place in the Derby at all. If she were male she'd be the third or fourth favorite. Plus, has anyone in this field beat a horse coming off a 100+ Beyer as a 3yo? Eight Belles has done that too.
