She was very fast. I was surprised Baffert thought she was better than Indian Blessing? It's hard to compare them from different eras that said I would have picked IB.

Interesting. Close. Didn't Indian Blessing lose a very fast Acorn to that Jimmy Jerkens filly ( Zoftig I think )?

Indian Blessing definitely ran some nice races on synthetics, but I also feel like she was a better dirt horse and hurt by the synthetic craze back then.

Yeah, I am not sure Zoftig won again? Indian Blessings Test stakes was pretty awesome.

I feel like she got hurt and might have come back in the Go for Wand late in the year. I do remember her connections saying they might run her in the BC off a layoff but I don't think they did. I'll look it up.

It was Zaftig, I knew there was one with an "o" and one with an "a" and she ran once after the Acorn, six times total. She was third in the 2008 BC F&M Sprint.
