Question: If you owned her how would you have managed her career differently?

I would have challenged her a bit. They challenged her twice. She won one of the races and lost the other by a nose.
It’s a shame we didn’t get to see her in more races where the outcome wasn’t a given beforehand.
They had a real chance to actually grow the sport. Get people into it. They failed because they were worried about protecting her streak. It was all ego.
