That's a point- I don't know any women who would say being pregnant every year is a "cushy" gig.

She's the Aga Khan's horse; he can do what he wants, but it seems to me that very rarely does a really terrific filly replicate herself (I feel like Personal Ensign came closest, but still didn't produce anything close to what she was), so why the rush to breed, when likely the offspring won't run as well?

I know, I know... because the foals will sell for oodles of money before anyone finds out they don't run like their mama. I get it; money runs the game, but it doesn't stop a fan from being grumpy about it.

That said, can we please come up with some new descriptions for race callers to use besides "flying filly?" There must be some other alliterative adjectives. Fiery? Ferocious? Fearless? Fleet-footed?
