And if she's just OK, how come she's able to ship across the Rockies so many times and win? Surely that takes a superhorse's ability.

Dude your 2 funny.... A few weeks back it was not about accomplishments.... Remember that? When I kept bringing up G1 wins? Thats all this gal has going for her, because shes slow as hell. The stretch run of the Bama was not pretty to watch IMO, they all looked to be laboring. I wont aruge with you about the past 5 years, because the entire game has been down, and even you will agree with that. She is up there on accomplishments. Lets be realistic, at 9f even a filly like Flashing from last year is competitive with this gal. You cant have it both ways, when I was talking about the Grade 1 wins you totally bashed me, where is her fast race? Her 104 early on this year, thats it, and if a 104 is fast then that again is a product of the horses being slower.
BTW... I would take Proud Spell and Music Note over Blind Luck.

i think the last five years has been very kind to us in the distaff division. i think devil may care is good, but blind luck obviously is better at the 'bama distance.
hard to say of course where blind luck will stack up historically, since she's not done-but she's better than you're giving her credit for. shocking. you seem to be all over the place when it comes to judging horses.

Considering what a herculean task shipping across the country is made out to be by some, this horse should be an all-time great already.

Blind Luck is pretty much impervious to pace, which is far more impressive on dirt than it is on synthetic. She takes her track with her, deep closers like her generally aren't going to run real big figures (and before you say anything, I never criticized Zenyatta for not running big figs) and she can run all day. Havre de Grace is no slouch and she buried the east coast's top filly. I don't care about Grade I/II/III designations, but Blind Luck has done nothing wrong and hasn't ducked anyone.

Impervious to pace? OMG.... Like Zenyatta is?

Zenyatta is impervious to pace, anyone who thinks differently is crazy.

I don't think it's necessarily about "fast" but more that she can continue to win against negative setups. The Ky and Del Oaks were great examples of that and one thing she has been able to do that a horse like Proud Spell couldn't, is show up every time. I won't hold the synthetic losses against her because it was a good bit of rider error in both but the Hol Oaks pace was just too slow for her to overcome.

I think Blind Luck would destroy Flashing at 9fs.
