This is true, and one of the reasons I gravitate towards her rather than a horse like Zarkava, who, while brilliant and likely more talented, had too brief of a career to be an all-time great IMO. I have a soft spot for horses who campaign multiple years, taking on and beating the best nearly every time out. Granted I haven't been watching racing nearly as long as some, but I don't remember many like this one.
