Top 25 Most Overrated Performances of '06

How about Lady of Venice? Yes, she was impressive beating 3YO fillies at Churchill, but she was then being touted as the second coming. She was bet down to even money in the Diana (against solid older fillies), and then was blown away by Wait a While in the Lake Placid.

And how about adding Quite a Bride, then, too?

I never had Quite a Bride being more than a Grade III-type, nor was she ever really touted as more than that. To hear people talking about Lady of Venice at Saratoga, you'd think she was the second coming of Gorella.

Seemed to me she was getting some pretty hefty hype too, more than G3 rumblings, but I do agree with you on Lady of Venice.
