Takes an awful lot of starch out of the Beldame.

That's what I say too. I have always felt that prepping over a surface to find out if a horse likes it is one of the dumbest things in racing. If they don't, now you've lost two races and the Beldame would have fit her perfectly. if she does like Keeneland, that doesn't mean she has to like SA too. It could rain at one of them. It could be 100 degrees at SA on BC day. If she doesn't like Keeneland, then what are they going to do? Probably say she doesn't like the track and toss the race. Waste of time.
