it also shows glaringly just how much her chickenhearted connections have cost her. she should have been racing like today all year, instead of racing in paid glorified workouts.

Aren't you the 'airhead' (along with Indian Charlie) who kept posting that she wouldn't even make this race?

What is the name of that great older mare who retired undefeated after winning a Breeders Cup race at Churchill Downs?

What is the name of that great mare who became the first horse to win three Breeders Cup races?

Was quite impressed with Goldilocks today

Maybe she'll finally step up and take on the big boys in either the BCT or BCC next year…

Not from a lot of people on this forum. And that's a shame. Like Smarty Jones's run for the TC in 2004, her streak and her style did a lot for the sport.

Gimme a break. Everyone has been praising her since the race ended. No one is even talking about the winner. That's the real shame IMO.

The thing that people don't want to acknowledge is that anyone who was considered a hater, wasn't hating. They just disagreed with some of superlatives being thrown her way. She's not the greatest horse ever. She's not the best filly ever either. She's a really, really good horse. Nothing wrong with that.

What will you rub in? That she only won one BC Classic and missed a 2nd by less than a head? Wow, that smarts. You'll be showing them she's no better than Cigar and Alysheba.

I thought she ran a fantastic race and showed that she belonged with the best horses of her generation. For the 2nd year in a row, I vastly underestimated how good she is.

Could she have had a vastly more interesting campaign this year? Of course she could have. But I'm glad as hell they didn't retire her last year, like 95% of owners would have, if just for this one race.
