Can't wait to see her try the Cox Plate campaign; I see she's arrived in Australia for quarantine.<br /><br />As for Set Alight, I could only find the date and information about the G1 Indian Derby where she finished second. Do you know where I can find information about her other 2009 graded races in open company? <br /><br />Thanks again!Valerie Grashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696887655473752690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062264901210357533.post-37685855484599096972009-08-11T23:24:44.720-04:002009-08-11T23:24:44.720-04:00Val,

Whenever I hear someone say that fillies can't run against the boys I have two words in response: "Makybe Diva." When you have a dominant mare, they are dominant. Thats that. Makybe Diva won three Melbourne Cups in a row. A feat never before achieved. And lets not forget Rags to Riches. She gutted it out against Curlin and came out on top. Hooray for the fillies.Jennifer Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816434194598390491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062264901210357533.post-89579047739321560602009-08-05T10:33:18.463-04:002009-08-05T10:33:18.463-04:00Great idea, Valerie.

Although changing beliefs in the horse business is a daunting task, I think that you have a shot with this approach.<br /><br />I hope that at the end, you may provide some insight into why all of the filly Breeders' Cup races were schlepped onto the Friday undercard and out of the TV limelight.
