Like I said if the other slow horses show up again, she would have a chance, but that's the only way...Controlling speed on the best part of the track and didn't run that fast...I guess Bernardini didn't teach enough people their lesson...

Friendly wager? You name the reasonable price that she won't win a dirt grade I, and I'll take it.

I can't think of any 2yo filly that I would take over her in any race right now, and unless one comes out of the woodwork, there certainly won't be any worrying about her chances of taking down another. You say "if the other slow horses show up again...." -- who exactly are the "fast" horses that she's been dodging?

She's been controlling speed in every race she's ever run. Of course, that's what happens when you're the fastest filly around.

Fast is relative I guess...

ok, "fast," "good," "capable of winning a dirt grade I over Dreaming Of Anna?"

However you wish to frame it, name me some horses that are going to stop her from winning one....

Handily means somewhat urged throughout the work. Breezed means they were out galvanting around.

Best way to describe the two is that Handily is when more energy or (exercution ?) is used. I can't think of the word.
