I think RA will have the best looking 3yo season after all is said and done.
The problem is - she has yet to face easily the 2nd best 3yo filly (Careless Jewel) ... she hasn't faced either QR or IWR .. and they are the only 3yo males this year who aren't goats. The older males suck .. and the Zenyatta match up might not ever happen.
It's all through no fault of her own .. but it's pretty remarkable that a filly like Melair .. who's career lasted all of 10 weeks .. probably saw both better female and male competition than RA ever has.

That's ridiculous to use her record and say she totally fell apart after the Preakness. She lost by 1/2 length and a nose to Personal Ensign in the fall. That's your idea of falling apart?
