Her recovery and subsequent win in the Lake George is worthy of note. Lovely filly!

She does it again yesterday in the G-1 Garden State at Belmont. I love this filly!

I bet against her in favor of the ultimate 'show' horse trying to 'beat the likely winners' though I truly thought Hungry Island might be the winner but she was all class today! A very nicely run /won race by this mare.

I also love her. I really did not think she was going to get there. Amazing turn of foot. Someone thought she ran the final eighth in :10 3/5! She was reportedly very proud of herself after the race.

She should have been. That's as good a closing kick as I've ever seen.
