What she hasn't done is show 'typical' forward progress as a 4yo, but she was abnormally fast for a 3yo filly to start with... (as fast as any in the game's modern history in fact). But notably, her 2 efforts this year are 'faster' on Thoro-Graph than her Woodward, Preakness and Fantasy and on a par with her Mother Goose.

I still think that last race against the boys last year took a ton out of her engine. She pushed so hard to win that race and looked it at the end. It's just talking time to refuel her engine and desire.
