Loved the way she won(Track favored dead closers that day and she pushed the pace) and I liked the fact that she was by a "plodder" sire yet had shown precociousness and speed. I told the buying owner that she would be tough in races like the Demoiselle(swear to God, I really said that) later on down the road when they stretched out to two turns. I saw that she had been purchased cheaply, called Tim Ritvo(an absolute great guy and gentleman) and he gave me a price and I called Rick immediately and said we had to have this filly. Got her under contract that day and she vetted fine. The rest is history.
