[The Indomitable DrugS]

I'm sure Melair was a machine - but still, you don't see 21 and change first quarters in two-turn route races that often.

She beat some useful horses that day when she ran the 115 Beyer and got hurt.

The horse who was 2nd came back and had 5 wins and 4 seconds in her next 9 starts - including a Grade 2 win and a Grade 1 second.




The 3rd place finisher was beaten by 25 lengths - and she came back to win her next start by 7 lengths at 7/1 odds - followed by a 2nd by a nose in a small stake at 6/1.



The 4th place finisher was beaten 31 lengths and she's a solid 70's Beyer kind of horse ...




The 5th place finisher couldn't handle the hot pace and was eased - but came back to win a Graded Stake on the turf.




This La Feminn filly was on the verge of greatness before that injury. She had blinding speed and could carry it atleast a mile. Even her three comeback races the following year where all strong triple digit Beyer efforts. She ran a 105 Beyer in her turf debut before that fast 2nd to Dream Supreme in her final career start.
