The great Volponi would have easily beat her that day.

And then they let her ferment.
Sad.

and that was far from a stellar field. She was a nice filly who was mistaken for a star because she hid out west for most of her career and even when she came East, was exposed against a really so-so group of fillies. I'm sure even horses like Goodbye Halo would have beat her up. But you are free to think that she was a freak if you would like.

Off the top of my head I would have to rank her as the top filly/mare in that division of THIS decade, but as others have pointed out, this has been a weak decade for that division.
If you went back to the 90s and matched her against a horse like Inside Information, I think Azeri would most likely be outclassed. And the 80s were simply an exceptional decade for fillies and mares on the dirt. Of all of them I would personally go with Personal Ensign, but a strong case could be made for a number of them from that decade.

to give her to you then you would have seen. Huge cruiser with a drive at the end. She died on the vine. Unfullfilled. Happens all the time. Tried to get a stupid streak and ruined a horse. I hated to see her run after she fermented. It was awful to witness the degradation.

Of course running in tougher races would have ruined her because she would not have had the notoriety of having a winning streak and we all would have forgotten about her by now.

I agree! Right at the top. And that sure isn't saying very much about her. She sure did show Tropical Blossom and Sister Girl Blues who was boss!
