Exactly. She may be competetive with these horses, but she does not deserve to be favored over them. Rip Van Winkle should be favored, and after that it would be hard (for me) to distinguish among Col John, Summer Bird, Einstein, Richard's Kid, Quality Road, Twice Over, and Zenyatta.

I think it's a very good bet-against opportunity.
