100% correct.

Running back on short rest could put the generational talent status achieved in the Grade 3 Honeybee in jeopardy.

Not to mention upsetting her commercial value, running afoul of modern breeding trends, and shattering the delicate egos of wannabe industry leaders in the process...

It wasn't AFTER the Honeybee. It was BEFORE when she won the allowance race.

That's when it's fun to see if you can be right about the speculation of the future.

Just like I was in ZENYATTA'S 2nd race.

Jerry Brown compared her to EIGHT BELLES.

It was me who said generational talent.

Which I think is still in play.

Fillies don't need to beat colts to be considered generational.

Ruffian, Zenyatta, Personal Ensign, Monomoy Girl et al.

Is she as good as those? Probably not.

But is it that big of stretch to win the Cotillion and BC Distaff?

That would put her in line for an Eclipse and G consideration.

The jury is still out.

And Freddy. Who cares what you laugh at?

I've heard it all now.

Yeah that's ridiculous.

I'm not sure she's a good as Swiss Skydiver who actually won the Preakness, was 2nd in the Bluegrass, won the Alabama, etc. and no one thought she was generational.

It's okay to just admit you wildly overestimated her talent because she ran at the track you announce at.

SHE WON THE KENTUCKY OAKS

That's a wild overestimation?

There were quite a few 3yo fillies who won the 1st allowance condition.

There was only one I speculated might be a superstar.

There was only one that won the Oaks.

The last time I did that was when Zenyatta won the 1st allowance condition.

Seems like a decent track record to me.

Ending sentences with prepositions now ? The nuns would be horrified.

I predicted Freddy was an untalented degenerate with special needs WAY BACK at the old DRF message board.

To be fair, that’s like taking credit for picking a 1/9 shot

Arguably, a generational talent.
