Forget HOY. As of now, I don't even think she is a lock in her own division. If Shedaresthedevil wins today at Keeneland and beats Swiss Skydiver in the Distaff, I think she is champion 3yo filly.

That’s a possibility.

I would think that Shedaresthedevil losing the Spinster today would take her out. But if Swiss Skydiver goes in the Distaff and Shedaresthedevil again pulls an upset, that would give her a 2-1 edge. Interesting choice. I think McPeek is leaning to the Classic because of the distance but an added benefit to her going there is that it probably locks up the division title no matter what happens in the Distaff.

The division is locked up my man. Nothing Shedaresthedevil does the rest of the year will matter.

Probably right but I'd feel weird voting for Swiss Skydiver if she lost to the same horse in their two biggest meetings. It would be almost like voting for Easy Goer over Sunday Silence.

Well we will never find out. Shedaresthedevil is going “on vacation” until Oaklawn.
