Still find it amazing … incredulous really … that, even after making the above statement in his latest article, Beyer is still gunna vote for a 3-year-old filly which never proved that she can win a G1 contest at the classic 10f distance for HotY.
Frankly, I think SB would've gotten to her in the Travers … and I doubt she'd have a prayer of holding off the monster western mare at ten panels … regardless of venue…
