If going the safest route is racing her against the 3yr old boys for the most part after buying her and then stepping her up to older males and racing and beating the horses that ran 1-2 in the grade 1 Whitney a few weeks back on the same surface, then I really don't know what you would consider tougher spots. Oh yea and wasnt she the first filly to win the Woodward? I though so.
Believe me when I tell you that Zenyatta had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with RA not running in the classic PERIOD.......... The decision was set in stone before the purchase was even made. It absolute Tom Foolery to think otherwise
