pletcher is desperate? i don't know that i'd go that far.
rags is well bred for the distance, and i think she can handle it. and of course you have three horses, very good horses, who have run two tough races in two weeks time. so now would be a good time to try it.
whether todd goes 0-29, or finally wins a tc race.....well, that's up to the filly. but i don't think it's desperation that will make the decision. we've all seen good fillies take on colts, i say let her try and see where she fits in. props to her connections if they do it. she's beaten her peers pretty handily, it's time to step up to the next level.
