None-the-less, I'm still not convinced this does justice to Franny Freud...
Let's see what prices we're offered. Good luck!

You know Ted, Franny Freud ended up being scratched, but if it hadn't been, I think it would have been one of those horses you have talked about. They run "as fast as they need to, not as fast as they can".
After all, the horse has raced 11 times with 8 wins and 2 seconds, including Grade II and Grade I wins.
In addition to that, the horse has won at 5 different race tracks and on 3 different surfaces, dirt, poly and turf. What else can you ask of a 3 year old filly? This horse was clearly the best of this group.
Sometimes a horses ability to beat other quality horses is more important than the "time" in which it does so.
The interesting thing in this race, is that the winner and Franny Freud just ran in a Grade I race where they ran 1st and 2nd with Franny Freud coming out on top. Franny Freud is scratched and the other horse, the only Grade I winner in the field, wins the race and pays $12.40.
