Unfortunately that's a possibilty too.

as a handicapper i was thinking the same thing. she may not race again but they are training her and it all sounds good. but, i also think the water will be deeper this year. face it, the horse has a big target on its back and theres a couple horses that look like they are already cranked up and ready to go. (zenyatta, musket man and quality road) i know the "lengend" status she carries on this forum but this will be a tough comeback when it comes to beating these horses. i look at it this way, the field she beat in the woodward was no better than the field that quality road just dismantled. her preakness was great so was the haskell, but anyone that thinks some of her form was not dressed up is not in reality. i try not to get emotional about these things, it costs money. it looks like if all the players stay healthy we will have a great handicap division this year. thank goodness, because i'm tired of the 3 year olds dominating the sport.
