Will probably be m.i.a. for awhile as motherhood calls- our little girl made her debut three weeks early but is doing great. Happy Holidays everyone! See you all in 2019. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/35ae93c26a88e0cc913797bde56c7dff2f53606e8197d008c01835f31bbaa62e.jpg

This is awesome news. This girl gave Enable all she could handle, I expect her to run a big race in Florida.

But both horses Bella beat dusted Abel in the Zenyatta soooo.....

I don’t see how they are similar at all. Two totally different campaigns and Bella’s was light years better this year

No it’s not clear at all you’re trying to say she beat 17 different grades stakes winners. Not 17 between them. And Bella best even more GS winners this year

Yep

Looking at several. Abel didn’t touch Bella’s speed in 2018. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6015b20702182f3a9a35ccf70be1eedfe6a6baa8cadcb3701644e315eaa23b60.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2866044b5f62a155af4e2c3a37ddb68dbfac352624c31bd82d18723b92e073b6.png

Wow cat shouldn’t be rated top three but I do believe she got better each race. Hard to say how elate would have faired in the distaff as she didn’t run and wow cat ran her two best races this year in her final two starts

Abel lost form at the start of the year too. She ran poorly in her debut and imo Just liked the speedy Belmont track in her two wins. And she had to impede elate to win the PE. She was a completely different horse this year compared to last year. Bella on the other hand never slowed down this year.

Not to mention abel’s speed figures didn’t even touch bella’s top figures this year
