I disagree. She gets out of the gate pretty well, but I think her strength is being able to continue a fast (but not quite sprinter-fast) pace through the second and third quarter and still (before Sunday's try at 9f) have something left for the stretch. From what I have seen from her, I think 8f-8.5f is where she will do her best running.

Agreed. She has a good motor but she is not sprinter fast. She does exit the gate very well based on the 4 races I have seen. With her high cruising speed she is going to get tired. I think a mile is the distance. I still believe she was very well placed in this race even though we lost. Considering she was at Saratoga, Mr. Simon found a very good spot and we learned a bit I believe.

That is one awesome looking horse that the group has. From what I have been reading about her she has come a long way and the group should hold thier heads up high. Could it of been the hot weather that messed her up a little bit, in addition to the distance? From what I see just under 1 1/8 seems to be the proper distance for her. Don't worry her day will come soon. I can almost guarantee that.
