I think the comparison is kind of a reach considering Hot Dixie Chick was a 2 year old. Every year we see 2 year olds that have matured quicker than their counterparts win big and then when the rest catch up, they are brought back to reality.

I don't know if I view Bellamy Road in the same light as some in the thread, but he was freaky good when he was healthy enough to make it to a race.

I take my role as Canard King very seriously....but to be very serious she didn't have to improve as a 3 yr old to beat the snot out of the 3yr old fillies. She went backwards. But she just popped into my head first.

She also was shut down in very early in September of her 2 year old year which to me screams some kind of health issue. I disagree she didn't have to improve. Save Beautician, who stunk this year, she wasn't beating anyone.
