Blind Luck had no shot with R2R.
Beat Curlin in there no? That is a joke.

I am not so sure it is that silly, it is difficult to compare. Like Ali/Tyson or the 85 Bears and the 94 Cowboys tough to call.

I would give her a shot in any race at this point. To include Hard Spun's Belmont isn't really fair remembering that ride.

I think she is better than she is getting credit for, that's all. I know she will be 3yo filly champ and that is deserved. What the females have been doing lately is special and just beating your own is not enough anymore, I get it.

Just looking for big things in the future from this one is all.
