I think it's a wise decision. She's a lightly raced filly and not a big one to boot. If she's good enough in her career, she'll have time to face the boys, but right now...........keep her with the girls. Anyway, the Alabama is a very prestigious race; I'd love to see her win it. |
A 3yo filly wins the Alabama every year. A 3yo filly hasn't won the Travers since 1915. This is a wussy move by people who have absolutely no reason to be wussy and even have another top contender in the Alabama. The older horses get the
tougher it gets for the girls to beat the boys, especially on dirt.
