I guess people figured she turned the corner somehow in the First Lady simply because it's a Grade 1. Of course, she only beat 3yo Together in that one. Fitting that an also-rans from the Queen Elizabeth II took it to her at Hollywood.

Always thought she was a bit of an underachiever who couldn't really get the job done against anything of serious quality.

Really nice horse, just not really special.
