Dreaming of Anna pointed towards the Derby?!

She was supposedly in heat during the running of the SA Derby. I have no idea how that sort of physiological change would effect a runner, but I can't imagine it would be good. She deserved a better fate.

that struck me as odd as well-they usually give fillies something to keep them from going in season while in training. unless of course they had decided to breed, race her for a few months, and then retire her. just very strange all the way 'round....
