She ran against the girls twice last year! One of those times was against a damn good Alexander Goldrun. I'd hardly say she was "retreating" considering her competition. Ouija Board was remarkable in what she did her entire career. She ran against the best males and females all over the damn planet and always made her presence felt (save for Dubai). In my opinion, she lost three races last year due to poor rides either waiting too long or moving way too early. Taking nothing away from Pride, but Ouija Board had the better CAREER in my opinion. She is and should be considered an all-timer because of what she did in her entire career and how she bucked the current pathetic trend in horse racing. She was loved by everyone for her incredible ability and her globe trotting durability. Thanks to her connections' willingness to race her whenever and wherever, her legend will live on for ages. Sadly, Pride will be forgotten in five years.
