At this point, there's more to gain in the Distaff. She's not going to win HOY if she wins the Classic. That would really have been the only point in sending her there. Being one race away from passing Personal Ensign's record and finishing undefeated is probably bigger to them than beating the boys. Despite what they say in that article though, after how cautious they've been for two years, I don't see them all of a sudden getting a heart when they are so close to the finish line and perfection.
