And less than 2 months after that she was nearly as fast as Secretariat was in the Marlboro Cup when winning the Beldame.
Setting or pressing the pace in all 3 of those as well.

Exactly what I say. Ran 1:21 then 2:00 4/5 then 1:45 4/5. Then knowing how good Bayakoa was, Go for Wand ran step for step with her. On the flip side, knowing how good Go for Wand was, I had to elevate Bayakoa higher than I had before.
I have her on top. I have Bayakoa #2.
