From 7/25/98 through 11/06/99 she ran beyers of 102 or higher every single time. She held amazing form for 16 months. In this time she won 5 Grade 1's and was a close second in 3 others, 2 of those seconds came to Beautiful Pleasure, who was another great filly.

As far as being an all-time great:
She lost the BC Distaff twice and the Kentucky Oaks, arguably her 3 most important races. Even though she was champion 3yo filly in '98, she wasn't much better than Keeper Hill when looking at their head-to-head matchups.
That said, I liked that horse, and on her best day would pose a serious threat to either of our the two racing now.
