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.

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.
