I sure can. She obviously shows up everytime they lead her to post, which is cool, and she's never once tossed in a real clunker, which is also cool because even the good ones usually toss in a bad race every now and then.

Ok, now, it's worth noting....she's just not that good. Her consistency, while admirable for just that, is that she's just consistently good enough to beat NM-bred runners. Her owner has made it clear that he's got no illusions of her being on the same plane as Cigar or Citation, and nobody else should either.

So yea, it's a neat little feat she's pulled here while taking advantage of very suspect competition and a pretty generous statebred program down there in NM. If I owned her, I wouldn't run her anywhere else either, when I could just take the free money in NM.

But I imagine she would be hard pressed to duplicate this success in just about any other state's statebred program. She certainly wouldn't run that streak off here in Chicago against IL statebreds, and we're not even close to the top of the heap.

So, in conclusion....cute, good for her, good for her owners, I hope she keeps winning and then I, along with everyone else, will forget about her in two years.

now that just makes too much sense..
