When is the last time that we had a star that could be cheered for more than two seasons tops?

I am not delusional about her talents. I knew what she was coming in and that opinion hasn't changed (actually enhanced some).

What would be the draw if they bring her to Saratoga next summer? I would bet all of the money Rockhardtenfan lost yesterday that it would be bigger than any non travers card in the last twenty years. Of that bunch, you really don't think there would be a few new players or owners?
i don't understand why you're keeping on with this. i said i'd like to see her back, but in different races than she ran this year. what's wrong with that? wouldn't those fans watch her in the big cap, or the pacific classic?
