What a warrior/champion she was, but to end a career getting beat by a horse like Court Vision was a bit of a slap in the face.

I disagree, the only people who were slapped in the face by Court Vision were the bettors.

a bigger slap in the face was a horse like Perfect Shirl beating the likes of Nahrain, Stacelita, and Misty For Me

She did have a trip at Woodbine last out, she might have come into this off a major Grade 1 win had she got clear. Anyway you cut it though Misty For Me was tons the best.

That's debatable. I, who created a thread saying "Aruna belonged in the Ladies Classic instead of the F & M Turf" had just as much trouble in the stretch as Misty and when finally got some room zoomed up for 4th. With just a little less traffic she woulda been right there.

BTW, ditto on the good things said about Goldikova.
