I thought she'd win by 5 in the Preakness, I thought she'd win by 5 in the Haskell. I'd have the exact same opinion if she was running in the Travers.

However some of like to actually see the horse do it before giving them credit for it. She may or may not be at a disadvantage at 1 1/4 but i suppose we will never know.
