Given that it's generally more lucrative, prestigious, valuable etc to win major dirt races, I think it's logical to keep her on the dirt and try to win a couple of the major races for 3 yo fillies. If she gets beat a couple of times and starts to look like she isn't a division leader on the dirt, then go back to the turf where she'll probably excel. The turf is always there as an option. Similar situation to Barbaro. All things equal, it's much more meaningful to win the Kentucky Oaks or the Alabama versus the American Oaks or the Del Mar Oaks.

well said. obviously she will ultimately get beat -- i don't think anyone has advocated the idea that she will be some sort of undefeated legend.
i just find it silly to say that she won't win a grade I dirt race again. i'd be honestly shocked if she didn't win at LEAST one more, i'd be willing to bet on two or more.
