oh! she ran right by them like they were statues. (And she was last out of the gate) The jockey sat chilly, didn't move a muscle or touch her.
That's 16 G1s, and 3 Chippping Norton's, 3 Cox Plate's and 23 conseq. wins.

WOW!! stayed up for the race too. Amazing...she just put her head down, and was gone. What was also nice to see, the crowd of fans along the rail waving, the jock(Bowman)waving back bringing her close to the fans. (this one was worth staying up for)

She is magnificent- been in Australia for 2 years and horse racing is part of the culture. However it is very difficult to handicap- if anyone has any suggestions, or comments I would be most appreciated.
Thank you
