One of the greatest 11.25 length defeats by a filly in history

I do like her at Belmont BUT if she does run in the Beldame at 4-1 or less, I would steer clear of her. I can't see her as anything higher than 2nd or 3rd choice for that race.

She does put horses away, even in defeat, very far away and they stay there for a long time. I am not sure enough bettors could recognize that trend though and think the odds you suggest are probably correct. If Blind Luck goes there LAT would float a little higher I think seeing what she can do at 10f.

The question should be how much does Life at 10 have in the tank after the PE, not whether it may or may not have been the most impressive 11.5 defeat in history? It may have been a compelling post by IDS in all his brilliance, however I never took it seriously at first or second glance.
