To say the streak is not a big deal is ridiculous. It's almost impossible to win 15 graded stakes races in a row, no matter how carefully you pick your spots. You can catch some easy graded stakes races occassionally but you can't do it consistently and that is why it's never been done.

I know, how ridiculous to want her to have more than two stiff tests in her legendary 20-race career. We should all be grateful that she's come back to win the same million races on the same surfaces over the same mediocre horses. The streak isn't a big deal because she's not facing top competition. She's facing a bunch of ordinary California mares over and over again. If she were running in true Grade I's against true quality horses, the streak would be amazing, but she's not.

It would actually be easy to make money as an owner if an owner could just find easy graded stakes races and win 15 in a row.

Holy crap.
I think the horse is great, but we're not being allowed to see how great. How many more times do I have to say it?
