She's a badass, but we knew she was winning by open lengths as soon as JWD scratched.

Calvin Borel needs to start performing
tricks up on her back during the stretch.

Hand stands, use her as a pommel horse.
Ridiculous.

Borel says she is the best horse he has ever been on and he didnt retract from it when he was reminded of STREET SENSE.

The "Queen of Churchill Downs" indeed. I called my dad to make him watch because she was obviously gonna put on a show to behold, but I didn't expect that. 20 1/4 holy cow.

She is not even trying to be that fast. It is really remarkable.

Pretty good for a horse that wouldnt vet out. The field wasnt great but an effortless 20 length victory in the KY Oaks is pretty damn impressive. Dont know the vet who failed her but he spared us the sight of some unattractive connections celebrating in the winners circle.

too true. thank goodness for that.

too bad they didn't go for the gusto and run her tomorrow. i'll have to watch the race when i get home, still stuck at work. i'm not surprised at all that she won easy.
i wasn't expecting 20 lengths...but i can't say i'm shocked either.
