![]() She's a typical also-ran in Europe who looks good against terrible U.S. turf fillies. In most other years, she'd be a nobody. Goldikova and Paco Boy would eat her lunch. I'd take Miss Keller over her too actually. There are a handful of three-year-old milers that would give her fits. It's been an extraordinarily bad year for U.S. turf fillies.

By no means is she a superstar and they won't be making a plaque for her in Saratoga. I agree, she probably isn't good enough to beat Goldikova or Paco Boy. Who is in this country? |

![]() You said she was an also ran in Europe. She wasn't. Who are the supposed turf monsters here that she hasn't beaten? Again, she isn't the second coming of Miesque, but you're making it seem like she's a claimer. She's not.

![]() No, all I said is she's beaten nobody and she has no chance in the Mile. She didn't win anything significant in Europe either.

![]() Is this really relevant? While the improved U.S. performances of horses that come over from Europe may be the function of class relief, for several, it is the addition of Lasix or the access to firmer ground than races are typically contested over in Europe. That's why in so many of the fall turf races the European form doesn't translate into equivalent American form, and we see the "other Euros" outperform their odds.

![]() False. Your argument was basically 'durrrrr she wins Grade 1's so she must be the bestest hurrrrr'.

![]() I was going to just post a one word response, that starts with the letter 'Z', but I don't want that to be done to death.
