Why she might be annoying:

    She changed owners and trainers between preparing for 2 high profile races.
    She was not expected to run against colts until ownership changed hands.
    She was 'unlucky' number 13 during the Preakness.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She became the first filly to win the 'Run for the Black-Eyes Susans' since Nellie Morse's victory in 1924.
    She's the first horse victorious in both the Kentucky Oaks and the Preakness.
    Jockey Calvin Borel bragged: 'This is the greatest horse I've ever been on in my life.'
