as for those who worry about the breakdown factor--you're in the wrong sport. any horse from a cheap claimer on up to top horses can have that happen at any time. to bring that up makes no sense to me!

and i feel she has already earned the right to be an all-time great. carried more weight this year than any of our top horses this year, and ran against the boys repeatedly, a 'must have' in most minds.
