She really picked a great year to be a talented filly in this division as long as she doesn't face Rachel. Regardless she did what a good horse should do to that field.

But didn't Rachel Alexandra do the same in The KY Oaks(okay she won by a Secretariat like margin), obcourse hindsight is 20/20 no one knew she would go on to be better under Assmusen.

I follow Woodbine so it isn't really a surprise to me she is a good horse, but in all honesty I never thought she would be this good, this soon.

That giant figure in her last race was very cut and dry ... but it came with a loose lead ... albeit loose through very strong fractions with a fast horse in Malibu Prayer chasing her. Malibu Prayer had won a bitter duel with a next out Test winner her prior start.

What was so impressive about today was not that she ran back to her only other dirt figure .. but she showed that she could do it while denied the lead going a classic distance. Even if the Beyer doesn't show it - I think she took a step forward today.

That is was what I saw, she was steadied hard around the 1st turn also to make it even more impressive, and you have to like the way she kicked home, no apparence of shortening stride. She could get even better...

Sprints were 81 and 82. The route was a 92 and was earned setting a slow pace without pressure then flying home.

That 23.99 2nd split is slow for you?

This filly has now run 4 straight wipe-outs. Not an easy thing to do.

On different note, I wonder when Jess Jackson will make his offer to buy Careless Jewel from these connections and turn her over to the Ass-Man.

I hope these owners can resist the inevitiable 6 figure offer they will no doubt receive once they haved viewed today's race.

Is she competition for Rachel, I think she might be.

I would only do it if I retained 51% of her. However I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a big push for her, Tabor and Godolphin are the only others that can afford it. It may be inevitable.

You couldn't buy this filly for 999,999.99 if you lived in Disney. Start at 2.5 plus plus maybe even 3.5mil.. You couldn't get this filly for a mil if you throw in a night with Pam Andersen
