What about Balance this year? She went to Keeneland with OK looking pps but somehow was hailed as the second coming, ran poorly in the Ashland and was still favored in the KY Oaks. What was the bias against her?

I agree with you about Lakeway; Steven Crist wrote an interesting article about her after the vote. He had voted for her, from what I could deduce. I loved her because of her breeding, but I was BIASED. She never came back to her best after she suffered nagging injuries.
