Looking at it another way, Jardin is a 3/4-sister to Outofthebox, who won the Super Derby(G1) and a couple of other 2-turn stakes. She has so much good Florida mud-blood it is not funny. Montbrook, Valid Appeal (the best mud sire EVER, IMHO), and Notebook. Kicking myself I didn't notice beforehand (although blowing the ROTD race is hardly the end of the world.)
