This was an awesome race-- Ginger Punch showed that she is one heckuva champion.

Ginger Punch has given us two really nice performances this season!

Your namesake would have demolished GP.

Belmont? Wasn't her weak track Santa Anita?
If you are implying that GP is unbeatable there, I'd have to strongly disagree.

Of course she would have, she rocked!

I've read on this board so many times about how awful Ginger Punch is and how certain people can't wait to bet against her though that she has really grown on me for failing to lose.

From what I remember Sightseek was good, but only around Belmont's 1 turn routes was she really, really good. Perhaps that is a little unfair.

I'm at work so I can't access this past p/ however my memory vaguely remembers her defining moment in a race against Azeri in the BC Distaff, I was somewhat disspointed in that much anticipated matchup that day. I think both these fillies GP and SS are very good fillies but great I'm not so sure.

On dirt, away from SA, Sightseek won her first nine starts. Tracks included Belmont, Saratoga, Keeneland, Churchill, AQU and Gulfstream.

Her first loss was in a sloppy race at CD, but I'm not sure that's a valid reason for her loss, as she had won over the slop at another track before that.

She won two of her next three, with the loss coming as a second to Azeri at Saratoga.

If her namesake was Stellar Jayne the same would be true.

How was your trip to Randy Moss's homeland? Pay homage?
