Interesting if Immersive turns out not to be their best filly from this crop, just the most forward as a 2YO

Why couldn’t she be? Seems she’s always being underestimated

Oh, she might be. Or it could turn out that Good Cheer is better. It's even possible that both are equally good, but end up excelling at different distances. Immersive has been in a class by herself this year.

I really like these 2 fillies and will be rooting for them. They're different physicals. Neither is particularly tall. Immersive is rangy, with more leg, while Good Cheer is a bit more compact and has big hindquarters. She ran the 2nd fastest Golden Rod time ever, behind Rachel Alexandra.

I just find it fascinating that Godolphin has.likely 2YO champion filly in this crop, but they may have an even better filly in Good Cheer. Time will tell. They're blessed with a nice bunch of soon-to-be 3YOs, males and females.

Absolutely!

Baeza, the McKinzie half brother to Dornoch and Mage, debuts today at Del Mar on the turf. He breaks from post 6 with Umberto Rispoli in the irons for John Shirreffs.
He was a $1.2 milly purchase at Keeneland September yearling sale last year.

Did not visibly pick up his feet. Debuting at a mile on the turf was not a good sign. But if they sent him to Shireffs with eyes wide open, maybe there's a plan.
