You are speculating that she will be at her best around one mile, and I am speculating that the extra 3/16 will not be a factor, especially if she can against her own sex.....it is all speculation....  ...we'll see what happens....I'll tell you this, Lady of Venice should not factor in the decision because she has NO prayer in any BC race.....I liked her a lot but she has been very disappointing.... |
How does that make sense? So Silver Train won the BC Sprint at 6 furlongs and then went and won the Met Mile at 8 furlongs. By your logic if those two extra furlongs weren't an issue then he should have no problem adding two more furlongs and going a mile and a quarter.
It is pretty easy to justify that she is best at a mile since that is where her trainer, who knows way more about her than any of us, thinks she is best.
