This is already a fact? I did not know that in the sport of horse racing, once you say you are going to be in a race 4 months from now, you can count that as a start.

I'll believe she goes in the BC this year once she is saddled up in the paddock.

I think this is obvious, if any horse that has plans being there is healthy and in good form, barring a season ending after the Woodward for some.

Yes, because running 8 races in 7 months.. at 7 different tracks.. in 6 different stakes.. including 3 against males (1 against older males).. two races in two weeks (Oaks & Preakness).. and all as a 3 YEAR OLD.. is much less taxing than starting the season in May and racing 5 times.. all in california.

I'd take a 3yo Lakeway prior to her near death experience against many of these.

4yo Sharp Cat, and possibly Akinemod, who I believe still has one of the 3 or 4 fastest two turn BSFs ever earned by a filly/mare, in what was her first start around 2 turns.
