I assume she was already pushed pretty hard to make the BC where she didn't exactly light the world on fire. A start in the Cigar should effectively obliterate any momentum she has heading into her 4yo campaign.
Should have left her in the Fasig-Tipton sale. Maybe somebody with more sense, like Paul Reddam or Frank Stronach, coulda plucked her away from her current connections.

The story at SA prior to the BC was that Jerkens was not crazy about running her but that the owners wanted to have her and Doremifasollatido both run. Given his history of shipping, it almost seemed as if his hand was forced.
In my opinion, Zaftig ran a terrific race given that Indian Blessing is the best female sprinter around and Ventura ran an incredible race.
The most hilarious part of this thread is that John Shirreffs continues to get blasted. Of all the people in this sport who cannot only be questioned but chastised, he gets it. Amazing.
