Zenyatta also jumped big first time dirt, but she obviously stayed at that level

Gayego (sheet in last years preakness archive) jumped up 1st dirt at Oaklawn.  Took a lot out of him, as he went way back the next two.  Probably the most similar situation to I Want Revenge.

Royale Michelle, who ran in Saturday\'s Distaff at AQ, showed amazing
improvement moving from the synthetic tracks at AP and Kee for Pletcher
and going to Mountaineer for trainer S. Matthew Kintz.

Ran in a 50 claimer for Pletcher at Kee in October,beating one runner, TG 12.

Four months later wins the G2 Barbara Fritchie at LRL, TG 2. In between she
hung up TG 1s at Mountaineer on sloppy tracks.
