what the hell?
has it ever even been suggested that Gorella or WAW would run on dirt?
why would anyone even consider it(especially in Gorella's case)?
the Distaff is worth the same amount of money as both the BCM and the BCFMT, so why would you take a top turf horse and run her on the dirt for the same amount of money?
as for The Board-
does not make a lot of sense.
forget the suggestion that she would not appreciate the distance.
this is a horse that won both the English and Irish Oaks at 12f.
she won the BCFMT at 11f at Lone Star in 2004, so she could certainly do it again here.
and besides, if you can win Grade 1 European turf races at 10f while running uphill for half the race, you can "get" 11f on a completely flat CD turf course.
