She obviously would have run in this years Classic if on dirt - and she would have been a clear cut favorite.

She has all kinds of options all year long next year. Even in the winter there is GP, OP, and FG ... if they don't run in those spots it's because of the Frankel fad of conservative placement that has overtaken horse racing. Fewer starts a year, more time between starts, less time in training.
It was stupid for the connections to consider Curlin for the Arc, but they did it and gave Curlin a test run in the Man O' War.

I'm not so certain that she would be a definite for the Classic this year if it was on dirt. If they were so interested in 10 furlongs against males, why didn't they run in the JCGC and then call it a year.
