on the flip side, if the filly had run in the derby...?

Would have been just what racing needs right now. A filly that might have been the next Triple Crown Winner...

Kinda feel bad for Mine That Bird.

Now yet another year of "what if's" and "might have been's"

Huh? Why think about races not run, when what's right in front of our eyes is pretty first class?

What racing needs right now it's getting, in spades and on national TV - a KY Derby winner who duplicated his impressive performance in the Preakness, but was beaten a length by a filly that just may be among the greats.

I think you miss my point of how much "better" it would be now IF she would have run in the Derby or IF she had'nt have run today.

Not taking anything away from her at all or Mine that Bird, just saying that the "what if's" are there.
