She is tough, but I'd be shocked if she was THAT tough. Now Bee A Magician might beat them...

I got to see her up-close at the Breeder Crown. She came out of the paddock quiet as a mouse, Whacked out a mile in 1:52+ easily in the mud, stood like a pet in the winners circle until the festivities were over and walked back without taking a long breath. She was brutal. I'd love for her to have a good showing in the Amer. Nat.

It's interesting how looks don't play into it. Maven looked like an ordinary, everyday horse. But when one mare makes $1.38 million she is the REAL DEAL. Used to say I'd love to own the ugliest horse in the world if he won the Invite at Sportsman Park every week.

Other end of the rainbow are ones like Won The West. As good looking a horse as I've ever seen, AND a multi-million dollar winner.

I've had some beautiful horses that couldn't out run a fat man in an overcoat.
