Agree. The horse has shown today to be something very special. Maybe not amonst the greatest ever, but on a short list of exceptional talents we are only seldom are to see.

She ran a very good race.
For me, this race enhanced her reputation. Sure she was overrated by many and that made me dislike her, but today she travelled away from her home base, beat some very good dirt horses on dirt, and lost by a nose to another very good horse.
