I loved Heavenly Prize...it's nice to think she was that much better (7 lths) than Lakeway.... but something had to be hindering Lakeway that day.

And then they both ran into Inside Information on a muddy BEL track.....

One was 2nd beaten 13 1/2 lengths...the other 3rd beaten 15 3/4 lengths.

While "the most consistantly good mare in the last 30 years" was 5th beaten 17 3/4 lengths.....and Mariah's Storm was also left in the wake as well.

I guess she was consistently significantly worse than the better members of her generation.

Agreed. She was laid up after that race, I think, and never the same.

Plus 1 1/4 was probably not her best game. When she was good, though, she was exceptional.

Well for one thing that was the last summer where Lasix wasn't legal!!
And Jones never won a stakes race at the Spa, just like many other Cali trainers back in those days where the lack of Lasix and "whatever else" left their horses "just not the same" as they were in Cali.

In my opinion, she was the best filly to lose 20 or more horse races in her career, that raced during the 90's. I'll certainly give her that.

Just edging out Shoop....once again.

Matter of fact, I believe I may be the only person ever to walk out of the latter. Everyone else seems to love it, I left halfway through I was so mortified by how bad it was.

I'm with you, I actually hated the Royal Tenenbaums. And I normally love Wes Anderson.

As for the Other Sister, well, I'm just impressed to see you work that one into any conversation.

Look at what she did at Belmont though, earlier in the year...

The Other Sister? Isn't that loosely based on DrugS's life...with Juliette Lewis playing DrugS?

I think she was housed in Dutrow's barn for that race.

Absolutely. The 90's version of the movie with the famous line, "I love you Roger," starring Sean Cassidy (I think.)

Did Dutrow Sr. have the same magic wand as his son?

No, he was not nearly the training wizard his son has become.

new to derby trail but not to horseracing. Bold and determined should be in this group of fastest filies

Gander · #**158** 01-02-2007, 08:23 PM

Lottsa Talc belongs on this list as well.

KirisClown · #**159** 01-02-2007, 09:33 PM

A little surprised RIBOLETTA didnt get a mention in this thread...she ran some awfully fast races in the fall of 2000 at Belmont.

Super talented horse! Had she not run so lousy in the Breeders Cup she might have gone down among the better fillies/mares to have ever run. 7 straight wins (all G1 or G2) on dirt going into the BC with Beyer Figs of 115-115-107-111-110 in the 5 races going into the BC.
