That has been superceded by 'Horse' for me. The Mother Goose, the Oaks, The Haskell are all nice races but really didn't require any challenge for a horse of her caliber, I suspect the Woodward will be much of the same. We need to see her in a top notch quality field to see just how great she is, see how she handles adversity...ect..
The Travers wouldnt have proven much either. It was a slightly better field than the Haskell but not by a whole lot. Theres no reason to think she wouldnt have galloped yesterday too. I am glad she waited for the Woodward. At the very least its a new kind of win for her (against older males).
