Yea. Probably not fast enough. I'd give her another chance or two.
Some visually impressive races in Medan vs. lesser.
~13/1 Oaks, and had a stablemate as the race favorite ( Nest ).
She seemed to need or be instructed to be kept in the clear outside. Pace was relatively fast and favored the mid-pack moves.
Within her own battles; Shahama couldn't run down a solid move from Kathleen O ( who got a more efficient trip ).
Shahama was able to out-move three longer price horses ( Turnerloose, Cocktail Moments, Candy Raid ) from the same position.
If she had out-moved Kathleen O, I would be more excited.
I liked her races, and her look. I think she can get the Belmont distance. However, I was surprised to see Nest considered. Unlikely to see two fillys.
Yea, it's a neat pedigree. I would never have guessed "Lookin at Lucky" if I was quizzed.
