Reasons to run her in the Alabama:

To improve her value in the sales ring - irrelevant since they'll never sell her.

To improve her offspring value in the sales ring - also irrelevant since they won't sell them either.

To make history by being yet another 3yo filly to win the Alabama - we only have a 100+ of those.

Reasons to run her in the Travers:

Whether she runs in the Alabama or the Travers she will produce the exact same offspring which if you are breeding to race makes no difference.

No filly has won the Travers since 1915, hell no one has even tried since 1989, if she wins it her name will be remembered. If she wins the Alabama no one will really care.

Proud Spell may be tougher competition than the lineup of crap pointing to the Travers. Bigger field or not wouldn't you want to take on slower horses?

You have another horse that would be the second favorite in the Alabama without Music Note? Why the hell would you run them against each other?

If she loses you can blame it on her freakin when she saw Macho Again's penis.



Verdict - Travers in a landslide.

Travers without question. She's proven more at 10f than any of the horses in the Travers have. I think the best horse that will enter the gate for either of the races is Proud Spell so that makes the Alabama the tougher race.

I'd run Music Note in the Alabama and Little Belle in the Travers.
