Great point, for me it was about midstretch when I realized she was going to do this thing and the crowd started going crazy!!

It was certainly a very exciting race.

However, it's the fan in me that makes me want to hang around here now and try to convince people from getting carried away at considering her an all-time great filly...off the basis of winning a race that her past form and pedigree suggested she was more than capable of winning.

i think right now everyone is enjoying having seen a great race.
not so sure that anyone really knows where she fits in historically at this point! too much racing left to do.

Perhaps you're right.

I don't know if she's an all time great filly, but it's a damned impressive feat for a filly to win the Belmont. That much I know...

And I was NOT a believer before the Oaks. Having witnessed both performances in person, she's the real deal.

Pletcher sad the filly may race against the boys this summer, in either the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park of the Travers at Saratoga. He also mentioned two top filly races as possibilities, the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Alabama.

"It's way too premature to make a decision right this second," he said. "We have to let this settle. And first and foremost, we have to see how the filly comes out."
