All she has to do to win horse of the year is race against fillies for the rest of the year and stay undefeated.
I'm not saying this is what I want to see, I'd rather see what happens if she goes in the Belmont, but they can play chicken and lock up horse of the year by winning weak G1 races for fillies.
