It usually takes a few races for a horse to learn the game ... and become as fit as possible.

Pine Island has done remarkably well in her first four starts ... and should now be approaching her peak as a G1 performer.

Not saying she's not talented, she's run 2nd in two G1's, but that last race was gift wrapped for her and she couldn't get it done...She's hit a pretty good spot early and probably doesn't have as much room for improvement as others that start lower than her, but that's a pretty good point to hit for being lightly raced, but I don't see her going forward that much right now, maybe later...
