But she's won on poly already, so that sort of debunks that theory, someone should bring that up with Jess if he plans on using that same reason next year.

What Polytrack race will even be worth thinking about for her next year with the exception of the $10 million Dubai World Cup?

I think we can look forward to a challenging 4 - 5 race campaign including the likes of the Donn, The Foster, The Woodward and the BC Classic. You can bet the races he picks for her will be on tracks tailored to her strengths.

If she goes in the Donn and is still around for the Woodward and Classic it would be hardly a soft campaign

That is some pretty funny stuff there. Good job.

What person doesn't try to pick spots for their horse where they have the best chance to run well?

Maybe a guy who wants to make some sort of history? Being that she is a filly there are a whole lot more options for her to avoid losing. Personally I think he will just try to keep her undefeated all year which is fine but if he doesn't take a few chances, especially going 1 1/4 then her 4 yo season will be a disappointment. I'm guessing a tune up at FG, the filly race on Derby undercard, S Foster, Whitney, Beldame, Classic.

You mean the Frankel micromanagement style or the Mike Dickinson OCD method?

Yeah that was a joke...

Conventional dirt version. I love when people say 'conventional' dirt. It just sounds funny

He wants to make history only if it's on his terms, what kind of courage or challenge is that really?

As opposed to on your terms.

I see the conflict now.

Hey Brian, check out the vid I posted the link to in the eso section here. Pay attention to the last part. That's exactly what I would say to JJ if I had a chance to.

Hi I bought this filly for X million and now I should race her where she is less likely to succeed because if she was able to succeed it would be more impressive then if she succeeds on a G1 level against males at several distances and tracks.. Makes perfect sense to me
