What can you say about this great filly. She has beaten the three-year-old colts in the Preakness Stakes and Haskell Invitational and has just become the first filly ever to win the Woodward Stakes at the same time beating older males. There is no doubt who is the Horse of the Year for 2009.
Often high indexed mares will produce their best runners late in their breeding careers (after their bodies have had time to recuperate from their hard racing careers) This years Hopeful Stakes winner Dublin is out of Classy Mirage who has a 21.93 index. I've been watching her for years due to the fact that she traces to a Matriarch.
