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?

I would have challenged her a bit. They challenged her twice. She won one of the races and lost the other by a nose.

It’s a shame we didn’t get to see her in more races where the outcome wasn’t a given beforehand.

They had a real chance to actually grow the sport. Get people into it. They failed because they were worried about protecting her streak. It was all ego.
