I was actually wrong as I was thinking that the QE2 is on the dirt but it's turf...so there are 4 turf g1's...
you forgot the prioress...which @ 6f prolly isn't a race she would point for anyway...
and I agree that she's realistically a better turf horse...but given the class of 2YO fillies on dirt this year I think she has a reasonable chance to win another g1 on dirt next year if she remains against her own age group.

I for one will be surprised if she wins another Grade 1 on the dirt. I guess if the competition remains bad, and she gets loose on the lead again over a speedway, then anything is possible, but I still haven't seen her run an even remotely good dirt race.

I have no idea what is appealing about her future on the dirt. Her BC race was mediocre at best.

I think she will be a better turf horse than a dirt horse. I also think
she'll love the polytrack surfaces. Hopefully she will stay sound and healthy
looking forward to seeing here run.

I wonder if they are going to allow Rene Douglas to ride at GP, if
they don't Catalano will have to find new jock.
