I'd rather take on my own generation than have to face the best boys Milers in the world...remember, last year was a WEAK year in the Mile with an American winning it...I even bet Artie - that is how weak it was because I never bet Americans in that race......it appears that Gorella will have to match strides with the likes of George Washington, Proclamation and Librettist this year and SHE WILL NOT like doing that if they choose to run her in the Mile.....IMO

If I thought she was fine at ten furlongs then the extra furlong wouldn't be a big deal. However, I think she is best at a mile, still very good at nine furlongs, and ten would be the limit for her. In that case the difference between ten and eleven furlongs does become huge.
