I kinda of thought she won the BC by default, with Havre de Grace opting for the Classic. Before that, she seemed to be an in-and-outer.

Her BC Distaff win was very good imo. She closed into a slow pace and flew late to beat It's Tricky ... but no, she never ran super fast before this weekend.
Keep in mind, on Thoro-Graph, they factor in weight (this race was a handicap) and ground loss (she's a closer and gets wide trips) -- so a 110 Beyer type race for her is always going to look faster on Sheets.
Seems like virtually all of the record figures come at age 4.
