She also went pretty darn quick early for that distance at Saratoga. She is the real deal.

What do you make of the last few furlongs?

She's just lucky a real star like Pine Island wasn't in there to grind her down.

Pine Island would have thrived on Poly.. BTW Fat Burger she was an ugly a mover as any.. She moved like a 1400 back loader.. Yet she ran down most..

by most ... I assume you mean Teammate.

I don't know if Pine Island's footwork was good enough to make her a top poly horse ... but if she had a well slept Alan Gracia riding her .. anything is possible.
