It was just a matter trying to pick a seam and boy when it opened up, she absolutely exploded through there. I was very impressed with her gallop out and distance won't be a problem. I think she's going to get every bit of the mile and an eighth or even more. Hats off to Brad (Cox) and Jorge (his assistant) they've done a great job with this filly and I don't think she's even peaked yet. I don't think we've seen the best of her yet."
