She lost nothing, she made up 35 lenghts. I thought she ran HUGE. Proving again if the connections were not cowards she would have been making noise on dirt all along.

She ran a great race. She was so much closer than I thought she would be. I'm now officially impressed.
 Having said that, I'm glad this is behind us now.On another note, Mike Smith is a drama queen.  She ran a hellofa race. Nothing to mope about.

I've always been a detractor, and yes, I was desperately cheering for Blame to hold her off.
However, she ran very well, and proved to me that she is a better horse than I ever gave her credit for. I'm glad she didn't finish undefeated, but the point many people were trying to make in criticizing the way she was campaigned was that losing a race wasn't the end of the world. And it isn't. She ran a very good race. For me, this race enhanced her reputation. Sure she was overrated by many and that made me dislike her, but today she travelled away from her home base, beat some very good dirt horses on dirt, and lost by a nose to another very good horse.

I thought she ran a fantastic race and showed that she belonged with the best horses of her generation. For the 2nd year in a row, I vastly underestimated how good she is. Could she have had a vastly more interesting campaign this year? Of course she could have. But I'm glad as hell they didn't retire her last year, like 95% of owners would have, if just for this one race. --Dunbar
