We often hear about how a horse could have gone faster if asked and more often than not, it's wrong. You'd have to think that in her case, it's true. She ran effortlessly down the lane. Looked like she wasn't even running as hard as she did in her last work. And she still went only .23 slower than the stakes record. Those fillies in the Louisville were doing it an all-out drive and also in a race that was 1/16th shorter.
