If you think Capote Belle was good, and she was, what about Danseuse who drowned her in their respective debuts and went on to run, unfortunately, only once more?

Ruffian and Crimson Saint are from the same family with a nexus of Cherokee Rose.

Was it only once more? I remember she won easily in her first two starts, then something went wrong... Maybe im thinking of the wrong horse, but I seem to remember her coming back at some point and running pretty poorly after that.

No...I am fairly certain she only made two starts. Considering her trainer, Mark Hennig, that's a lot of wins.

You are right. Capote Belle was bet to 6/5 against her in that debut---do you remember what Danseuse went off at?

Thats her. recently deceased Dragon owned her. She was sensational in her brief career, as much raw talent as i ever saw from a filly. Thats one I'd really to have loved to have seen raced more. The fast ones always get hurt, the slow ones never run fast enough to do any damage.

Sweep Dreams might be her foal. Probably would have been bred by December Hill Farm...owned by the late Alan Dragone.

For a 2 YO, no filly was better than Landaluce in 1982.

She won her debut at Hollywood by 8 lengths in 1:08 1/5.

Seven days later she won the Hollywood Lassie by 21 lengths in 1:08 flat.

She won her next three starts by a combined 20 lengths or so.

She died after her fifth start.

In recent years, Madcap Escapade could really rock. She was beautiful to watch also. Had a great style -- she ran with that flowing yet reckless abandon style.
