Can you name one filly who accomplished more than she has through this point in their respective 3 yo years?

Actually while she won the Frizette at 2 in her only meaningful race, though her maiden win was exceptional, she did it in a three horse field against the very average Collins....though she may have injured herself in that race.

still amazing to think that she came back from an injury of that magnitude, and kept such form! man, she was something.

Accomplished as much? yes. More? no.

That's my point.

Personal Ensign probably hadn't started yet as a 3YO at this time. And, she didn't accomplish nearly as much until she was 4.

And I say that as a huge fan.
