i just dont think they were that far off of each other when keeper hill was on her game. banshee breeze was always on her game.

From the summer of their 3yo filly season on ... Banshee Breeze was vastly superior in every way.
The Spinster result was all about Keeneland's track bias. Banshee Breeze was 4 wide on both turns over a rail favoring race track .. Keeper Hill slipped up the rail and I believe was rail, rail on both turns ... Frankel praising it as one of the best rides.
Keeper Hill might be a 3 time Grade 1 winner .. but I think it's a huge insult to Banshee Breeze to say they had the same ability.
