Steve needed to say John what the heck would you be running in the Distaff for? Seriously in all candor why in the friggin world would Moss/sheriffs consider the distaff at this stage in this mares career.. Honestly the Distaff is certainly not an option and if it is then Sherriff's isn't calling the shots.. NO SANE person could elect to run her in the Distaff unless money was the motivating factor..

Mind you I love the mare...I think the Rachel v Zenyatta talk is complete nonsense..I also think That this mare deserved more then the apple blossom ONCE
