What makes you think that Nashoba's Key doesn't have serious ability? Granted she's only won 7 races, but she certainly doesn't want to lose. The BC will be an excellent test for her, you can't deny 7 in a row...and if anybody is paying attention, that's 7 races in one year! I think she might be the most highly raced Breeder's Cup entrant in the last 5+ years! In my opinion, she has absolutely no chance for HOY, but I wouldn't write her off for a BC win just yet, and with a win she could certainly be a top contender for champion older female and female turf.

Or Curlin, or Street Sense, or Hard Spun, or Lawyer Ron......just to name a few.

I think Miss Shop has that sewn up for this year with 24 starts in 2006/2007.
