possibly the quickest turf filly EVER TO RUN. look at the fractions she has been running at the end of her races. in her second turf sprint in the US she ran the last 1/16 in about 5.0 flat. do you remember dansili, the horse that finished third in the BC a few years back with JR aboard? that was her half brother, and he put in one of the most incredible stretch runs i have ever seen. heat haze is also a half to banks hill, a horse with a pedigree tilted more towards distance, but she was also an incredible animal.... but seriously, running 1m, heat haze has the greatest burst of speed i have ever seen...... was also interesting how Frankel praised JR (saying he wins with a 50% clip when JR rides for him, which can't be true). will only be a matter of a few years before JR has every record in the book.
and how about the price on HH yesterday? you knew post 11 wouldn't be much of a problem with most of the horses inside of HH having good tactical speed. she was bound to save ground until the top of the stretch, then her class just took over. i thought 4-1 was a gift.
