Noone in their right mind passes the Alabama to run in the Gazelle if they think they can win the Alabama. On a broodmare's resume, winning the Alabama has like 5 times the kick of winning the Gazelle.

I think you are right, but the Eclipse is what they are after. You put 4 grade 1's up it doesn't matter what anyone does. It is a smart move by the Bushfire people because she obviously likes Belmont. WLA would have to win the BC race to take it from her. You would think they might meet in the Beldame but I don't see either beating the older mares. I still think Shugs horse might turn out to be the best of the three, but if WLA could win the two Grade 1's at the distance she will probably be a more valuable horse. Just make sure the rain holds off.
