I still don't see how she only ran in 2-3 meaningful races in her ENTIRE career when all she did was run in Grade 1 races, but you are entitled to your opinion.

I said the races contained good horses? Read much?

So "competition" meant what?

You tell me. You are the one that said the competition didn't show up.

But even you have to admit there were better horses in those races than the ones she ran in before the Classic. They weren't good, but a lot better than she faced.

And, and, they were run at the classic distance of a mile and a quarter!!

What would her year have been like had she not gotten up by a head to defeat Anabaa's Creation last year in Del Mar?? Simply racing against open company in Californian would have been enough for many.. I wish she had gone to Dubai (she may still do) or try turf, just do something a little different to the other few years without having to leave California..

I thought it was such a remarkable run on Saturday and was clearly her best run yet. She doesn't deserve HOY but I think she'll get it!
