Loved her thought she was fast, well traveled etc. Who was she bred too?

I think Zensational, but really not sure.

I just think a lot of people thought she was better than she really was.

Context is a useful thing.

Try using it sometime.

Yes, Zensational.

Not sure who she was bred to once she foaled that Zensational colt though.

Obviously, Musical Romance put the synthetic questions to rest when she won the Masters at 9/1 odds and beat Switch in the Kee Stakes -- where she was 2nd beaten a nose against a speed biased winner at 6fs.

I was too sucked in on only Switch and Tanda in the multi-wins.

But what a nice horse Musical Romance is. She's excellent on all 3 different surfaces -- she's Calder tough -- ran something like 16 times this year and about 30 times the last two years. She's willing to ship all over and race on the road. It would be a travesty if they don't give her champion filly and mare sprinter this year.
