Admit it once and for all..... she was a great.

Don't tell Dixie ... but ... even though "she" was a fantastic filly who deserved immediate induction into the Hall Of Fame ...

... "she" lost 24 of "her" 52 races .... 46% ... and "she" wasn't even the best female sprinter of her era ... because ...

... Tosmah beat "her" three out of three ... twice crushingly.

Did I say "Tosmah" ... the champion 2YO and 3YO filly who was lapped on Hedevar when he equalled the world record for a mile ... while spotting him eight pounds ... and who was still winning G1 handicaps while spotting weight to colts as a 5YO?

Yeah ... I guess I did.
