The Preakness was clearly no walk in the park for her, 'stupid.

She would've been very vulnerable in a long 12f affair so soon after that taxing effort.

Not to mention the very real possibility that she may not want that kind of distance to begin with.

Asmussen, not being as dumb as he looks, surely realized this and made the prudent decision in this spot.



Not sure why you're bringing up premature retirements, tho?
