Nest was never winning the Belmont but maybe she’s the generational talent. She got beat less than a length by Gerrymander in her 2nd start and you saw what Gerrymander did in the Mother Goose. She was second best in the Oaks and Belmont but that performance Saturday was next level. Secret Oath has never run a race that fast.

Honestly neither one of them are likely to be considered generational. They’re nice fillies.
Agreed. I was just assuming how Vic might respond. I actually forgot she ran in the Preakness. My memory must be going.

Seems clear she's not as good as I'd thought/hoped she'd be.

Obviously VERY talented.

But not generational at this point.

Very talented horses come around EVERY year. I don't know what fig Jerry Brown used for Nest but I wold think it is MUCH better then anything Secret Oak has ever run

I would think you'd be right.

Starting to think she's pretty good after all.

Still time to seek generational.
