I guess that would be a poor performance by her, because if I understand the various other statements in this thread (not necessarily by you), if she had been in the Travers, she would have won with a BSF of 130.

While the older horses are nothing real special, there is still a reason that it is so unheard of for a 3yo filly to be taking on open competition on September 5th.
Somebody doesn't think it's a foregone conclusion: http://startelegramsports.typepad.co...slingshot.html

Its not a question of which Its a Bird shows up, its more of a question of which Marty shows up. Will Marty be tweeting all week and after the race?

I thought it interesting that Mr. West hasnt found anything else in horse racing to blog about for three months other than RA, Jess Jackson and the Assman.
