She didn't beat him. I really loved her but that's the truth. With Sky Beauty, she also failed to satisfy a requirement and never won outside of her division. She was quite brilliant in NY but much more ordinary than great outside of the state.
To each his own. I don't care for that rule as it leaves out Easy Goer and Alydar.
You're right about the Dayjur thing as far as that race itself but to me it takes nothing away from Safely Kept's overall record. If I had a vote she would be in.
