This 100%. Shes still a competitive horse at the G1 level. Absent of a physical thing, I see no reason not to continue running her this year. She isn't embarrassing herself in any way. Plus, as others have mentioned, the ride by Geroux Saturday was laughable and borderline sketchy.

Still love the oaks call on her.

when these girls go off they stay off. She wasn't horrible by any means older but I don't think they would have been able to achieve different results had they kept running her. Would have been a hard knocking second and third type but that's it.
