i'll be surprised if SB ever runs again..if she runs again, i'll be surprised if she wins.

There was nothing to see, so you didn't miss anything. She simply developed quicker than a bad group of horses, clearly excelled on synthetic tracks, and received one great pace setup after another.

She didn't move forward at all this year and is best kept on the sidelines for a while. I can't imagine she'd ever finish in the upper half of the Derby field in a year like last year.

I agree with most - but I don't think she was recieving big setups. She does have a very nice sustained 3f burst as evidence by what she did at OBS and that's a big deal on Pro-ride especially
