She's A LOT more horse than Fly Lexus Fly.

Fly Lexus Fly was a nice dominant horse in a region where scarcely a decent allowance horse is ever seen. He was a faster version of Tomcito and still has a chance to prove himself a good horse over here.

Amani is unquestionably the best South American filly in a long, long time...and the dirt racing in South America is generally a lot better than the turf racing.

How she handles the new climate and comes back from the long layoff and all that remains to be seen.

Some fillies like Bayakoa, Riboletta, Paseana, Wild Spirit etc. etc. will thrive and get a lot better here, some will struggle to reproduce their South American form. It always helps if these imports have a trainer who has some magic to them.
