If she has good position and takes over early you can see she has gears the rider is not using.
If she's wide she coasts up the leaders and gets to them easily without even be asked.
She's so massively better than these horses it's a mockery.
There's no doubt in my mind that if you put her up against the greatest turf horses in the world she'd win more than her fair share. She'd probably get beat here or there like they all do, but she deserves this legendary status. You don't make a mockery of very good horses 29 times in a row without being very special.

Agree with everything you said.
Kudos to the connections, too......this is what "perfect management" looks like.
......and what lasix-free-on-raceday horses can look like w/out electrolyte-altering and alkalinizing. (She has quite often raced on less than 3 weeks rest if you look at her record.)
When I see Street Cry daughters like Zenyatta and Winx I do sit up a little.
