That's why I don't think these higher numbers are that important. She will run what she has to run to be first. People obviously don't believe that. I think she'll prove it to them, but she's not gunna run faster than she has to. Folks, this is a great competitor. They do this. They look like they can easily be beaten, but it is not easy to beat them. She is teasing you.....Say what you will about the owner/ trainer, but don't confuse it for a lack of gameness by the horse. She obviously thinks she can run anyone down, and she likes to do it in a way that infuriates her haters.

I like the horse and everything you say MAY very well be true, but there is no way of knowing that by setting in Cali beating a bunch of sorry fillies. What infuriates me is that the connections aren't willing to truly find out how this filly stacks up against the top competition on a consistent basis. They are doing a disservice to the horse. They want to tell us how great she is rather than show us. When she fails to win HOY again this year they will whine and moan just like last year when in reality they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Well, when you win a 5 mil dollar race, and people poo poo it, then you don't really deserve to have her come back there MUCH. She should be racing in the Big Cap, and the Gold Cup, though.
