As I said before, whether it's because of stamina or her keenness early, she'll never get 10 furlongs in a race like the Classic. Trust me, if she hated Saratoga in the Woodward, she would've packed it in at the top of the stretch. She had every right to.
I think Quality Road is probably a much better horse at Gulfstream than he is at Saratoga. I highly doubt Blame could have beaten QR in the Donn, had Blame been in the race.
