Well now we know, this isn't a very good filly, this is a great filly! First filly to EVER win the Belmont at 12 furlongs and she beat a very very good horse. Sure the 5 pounds helped but the stumble at the start and racing wide eliminated any weight advantage imo. The extremely slow pace didn't help her either! Now you have to wonder...could she have contended for the TC? Impossible to know but she proved she's as good as any 3yo today. Congrats to Pletcher...they talked about irony, what they didn't mention (at least while I was watching) was that Pletcher's mentor, DWL ended his long winless TC streak by winning with a filly! Great day for racing!
