I brought up Blind Luck because people were making her out to be among the better 3yo fillies of all time last year.

She is a really solid filly who was in a really awful crop of fillies.

Probably had more to do with the similarities of the campaign (as compared to the avg modern horse) than her actual ability. Though I am a big supporter still.

The only thing I did was completely disagree with you when you said she was no better than Octave.

I was not referring to you.

However, she does look to be a lot more like Octave now, right?

I don't recall anyone comparing Blind Luck to one of the best 3 year old fillies of all time.

However, when a pretty good filly is allowed to navigate an opening 1/4 in almost 25 seconds uncontested, and a half in almost 49 seconds, in a 4 horse field, on a track that has been producing fast times for weeks now, it's obvious a closer is going to be at a disadvantage. Any closer.
