The Pletcher filly was one of just two or three that he nominated to the Derby week 2yo stake--and he did so before she ever debuted--as it turns out, she's not much.
Like Rupert said...the Aldebaran may have only won narrowly, but was a lot more impressive.
I've noticed a trend that a lot of horses who wear blinkers at their 2yo in training preview---tend to be slow breakers in their debut, and often race erratic...and some are just plain busts. This one looked well though.
