I don't know if I'd call her overrated.. but it is asking a lot to step up to a Grade 1 against older horses.

Sum, have you watched her last three races?

Clearly, CLEARLY not the same horse...something went amiss and she needs to be retired, should have retired before her last race

no i have not. she'll probably get scratched because the turf should be soft. brisnet has Sweet Talker with about an 11 point primepower advantage over the nearest rival My Typhoon. if that is any indication she needs a good look. sheets wise i dunno...will she bouince ?http://www.brisnet.com/Promo/Free_PPs/brd_comp.pdf

Cassette Case deserves a good look in the 4th race.

You guys will be eating those words tonight, she loses and like I said, I like My Typhoon or Motion's horse...

She is a 3yo running against her elders. Some of the 3yos she beat have won back against other 3yos, but we have no idea how this group of sophomores stacks up against the 4 and up crowd yet. A good parallel would be if Bernardini went up against his elders in the Whitney; he's looked pretty good this year in his division, but is a big unknown versus the older generations.
