Well, that appears to be her style. :)

I had tears in my eyes, too.


I can't think of an American horse, right now, who could beat her. That would make a fun topic. :)

I seriously thought I was the only one that had tears in my eyes and goosebumps when she crossed the wire.
She is incredible.

She made it look sooo easy too. One helluva filly. The Aga Khan says she is unlikely to run in BC. If I owned her I wouldn't either. She has had a long season. Put her away for next year.

I would not be surprised if this was her last race.

The aga khan seldom keeps them in training after their 3 yr old compaign and having reached such achievements

I know that's his policy with colts, but there is no reason not to keep a filly in training. three/4 is too young to breed anyway

It's generally his policy with his fillies also, well his champion fillies anyway.

Three/four isn't too young to breed either, though perhaps in your opinion.

What an amazing race, and what a wonderful filly. No reason to run her in the BC Turf, as the Arc is a $6 million race and the Breeders Cup is $3, and it would be her third race in six weeks. I'd also assume she'll be bred in 2009, there's nothing that she can do to top this.

Yes, an amazing filly. I was just thinking there are two amazing, undefeated 3 year old fillies whose names both start with "Z" and end with "a"--Zarkava and Zenyatta. That would be my dream matchup.
