Melhor Ainda belongs at or near the very top of any list of top female turfers but everyone has forgotten her. She proved it last year, especially as a 3 year old against older mares in the Beverly D. She has a devastating late kick and tons of class and gameness. Watch out for her when she runs -I just love this girl.

GORELLA! I have been touting this mare since last year. Awesome filly that is going to improve more and more. I don't know if she wants more distance or not but I am rooting for her and she is an awesome closer so maybe added distance won't matter. If Gary had given her a better ride last year in the Mile, you all would be on her band wagon right now. She is the goods. I love to watch her run.

Yeah I liked her ever since last year as well. I was there at Keeneland when she came up the rail to lose by the shortest of margins. I didnt think Mehor Ainda was still racing--or maybe I was thinking of Cesario.

She injured herself in the Flower Bowl and hasn't been seen since, but Melhor Ainda is working very steadily now - last I heard, Bobby was thinking of running her straight w/o a prep into the Diana. She's an wonderful, wonderful filly but I think that's a mistake. The Diana is not run until mid-July and MA will probably be ready to run way before then, if she's not already raring to go now. Long layoffs don't bother the filly, though - she's won off of them before
