Has won 2 straight Group 1 races and her ultimate goal continues to be the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita.  I'm not sure there's anybody in the States that can beat her, or even run close to her.

She's something else.

I haven't seen any of her recent races. Has she put on any bulk since the BC Mile last year? She was such a slight little thing then.

She's just an absolute monster.  I just wish I could come up with more superlatives to describe this filly.  Frankie Head, her trainer and the former rider of Miesque, believes she's every bit as good, but probably better, than Miesque ever was.  As of right now, I'm saying she's the most likely to repeat as a Breeders' Cup winner in 2009.  Yes, even if Zenyatta runs in the Ladies Classic, Conduit runs in the Turf, Ventura runs in the F&M Sprint, and Forever Together partakes in the F&M Turf.

Here's a video of her most recent G1 win against the boys, August 16 at Deauville.  She's the one that dominates  Wink

Hopefully, she will return to SA for the Breeder's Cup.  It was so memorable to see her last year.  She is so "scopey" looking, just pure class.  Lately, I've developed a fondness for scopey, lithe, classy looking fillies with a refined throat latch.
