I'll eat my hat.
Though in fairness, and people probably did see in another thread, I actually came around to her in the end. When I ended up doing the form after final fields were through, on Sunday, I found myself saying, "Well, she could win it after all."
I didn't back her, and you don't have to believe me but I did actually have her top pick in the end, but wasn't going to take the $3.60.
The way she accelerated with the 58.... my word.
Just quickly though, heaps of people are comparing her to the greats of the turf, she wouldn't have beaten Might And Power level weights 2400m. Everyone forgets him. Don't know why. Remember, she didn't run down Elvis, and Elvis ain't no Might and Power.
She's a champ, a "legend" to quote Greg Miles, but he would've beat her at level weights every time, and possibly over 3200 too. THAT would've been the interesting bit. See if he could hold her out over 2 mile. NO DOUBT he would've beat her 2400, 2 mile...? Interesting.
