Re: Best Horse in the world in running tomorrow at Saratoga..
She has that explosive turn of foot that I like to see. She's like her sibling Street Sense (BOTH are the son and daughter OF the stallion STREET CRY) with a little more in the tank than her bro (but they run very similar). Its like no matter what happens in front of her she can still put in an electric bid and beat you.
You could pace out 25 50 113.. and she can still get you.
IMO Curlin is a big giant monster, but he needs some space to run. He is a great atlete as well, but I just think this filly is special. She has run all of her races on synthetic except 1, all easy wins against the best California has to offer. Her dirt race was even more massive, she beat last year's CHAMPION FILLY AND MARE Ginger Punch by 9 lengths at Oaklawn Park in the Spring with a superior rally to blow her doors off. BTW, that is the only race Ginger Punch has lost this year 4 for 5 wins, and she capped off last year by winning the BREEDERS CUP DISTAFF at Monmouth Park and the Eclipse Award as well. Zenyatta embarrased her.
Time will tell, but I like this filly. Also she cost $80,000 as a baby... even a crackhead like me could dream the dream for that kind of money. Actually Curlin cost $57,000 as a baby, but was later resold from the Helen Pitts barn for $god knows how much.. I think 3 million, and then $60zillion to stud syndication after this year.
Anyway, Im babbling... best horse in america, she wins the nosebob.:+whipping
