....yes you may be right....she was bred in Ozz according to records as Galileo shuttled there..... :blush:

IGUGU was four, aus bred, turned 4 in Aug like all SNL bred horses

Last 3yo Filly was 1908 or summit

I make this years Met wide open. An upset on the cards predicted!!

The conditions of the race have changed (again), so historical data hardly helps.

When Pocket Power won his first Met as a 4yo he carried 53kg.
The top weights were other 4yo's Eye Of The Tiger and Elusive Fort at 56kg.
The only 3yo Emperor Napoleon 52kg, so out almost entire wfa with PP.

A year later 4yo Buy And Sell carried 57.5kg to PP's 58kg. Other 4yo's carried 55.5kg.

This year 4yo's 59.5kg and 5yo 60kg.

I can't remember a 3yo filly running in the Met, never mind winning. This must be the best time ever for a 3yo filly, and so we get one.

Was Imperious Due the other filly to have won the Met....
