Sad thing is, the race that proved to even her most vocal doubters how good she actually was, was the lone race she was actually challenged and just came up short. Feels like racing fans were robbed of some real exciting racing in a time when the sport needed it because of a dumb streak.
That "dumb streak" garnered her 4 Eclipse awards including Horse Of The Year.

She earned $7.3 million.

60 Minutes did a piece on her during a time when horse racing was in a precarious, tenuous position.

The Moss's and John Sherriffs brought her back from retirement and shared her with an adoring public who was thrilled to enjoy another campaign.

Question: If you owned her how would you have managed her career differently?
