Freddy called her a phony - not me.

I just think she's overrated.

I had to listen to the TVG guys say that she would have been Horse of the Year last year if she had won the empty joke of a race that was the BC Filly and Mare Turf - and if Hard Spun had beaten Curlin.

I think being out West, they lose sight of the fact that Nashoba's Key was probably getting almost no Eastern votes for the HOY no matter what scenerio occured on BC Day.

Either way, Noshoba's Key has built up a gigantic reputation by beating very weak fields, running very moderate figures, and doing it with mostly decent trips.

The angle she has going for her is that she's a lightly raced Cal Bred .. and may continue to develop further.

she is a fraud and very overrated, everyone is correct, she has beat no one at all, the horses you guys are naming, with the exception of the one frankel filly are not even stakes horses, so why even mention grade 1,2,3 caliber ?

Nashoba's Key beats up on dirt horses who can't transfer their talent to synthetics.

The Ladies Classic is being held on synthetic most likely for the next 2 years.

There's no reason why she can't win this race twice if she stays healthy.
