Imagine victories in the KY Oaks, Belmont, CC American Oaks and Breeders Cup Distaff - that is one heck of a resume. Even though her racing career is not over, I think she has to go down as one of the all time greats. Victories in the KY Oaks and Belmont Stakes gives a filly the distiction of one of the all time greats of her sex.
This would be my all time field (for females only) going 1 1/4 on dirt - max 10 horses.

I personally think that most of those would have blown her out of the water, but that's just my opinion.
With that said, she's an extremely nice filly. Slow time or not, I was impressed with her in the Belmont. She's a very gritty filly... fought all the way down the stretch. I like that in a racehorse.
