All of her foes in that race weren't much to start with.

I'm not someone who has any doubt of her raw talent - go watch her debut (at 5.5fs) and than go watch Seattle Slew's first two career races.

She isn't exactly a female Seattle Slew to say the least - her tremendous raw speed has allowed her to win a pair of weak Grade 1 routes inspite of her staggering home late in both races.

Her dam was a confirmed sprinter...and there isn't exactly anything you can pull out of the pedigree in a desperate attempt to make her look like she will stay 10 furlongs inspite of her clearly showing she can't on her 2yo form.

She probably has a much better shot of winning next years F&M Sprint than the Ky Oaks - let alone the Derby.
