Why not go after a Grade 1 against American turf horses? I'm as big of a Winter Memories fan as anyone, but she's not unbeatable. Secondly, running a mile on some of those boggy European turf courses is pretty comparable to running nine furlongs on a firm American course. She's far from hopeless in this spot.
You honestly think she would be better placed in the Sun Chariot?

And you are always rude, so I have no idea why I am responding to you. I'm sure you followed her races in Europe and have a clue about how good she is or isn't, right?. I love how you try to "guess" when you could have taken the time to read any quote from Brian Meehan about her. If you had taken the time, then maybe you'd see that he is extremely high on her, but you didn't take the time.......and this is his most recent quote about her.
Theyskens' Theory: She deserves to win a Group 1 and she should relish the fast ground that has been forecast. She did well to win her listed race at Sandown last month and this has been the plan ever since. It is such a shame the ground went against her at Royal Ascot as she would have gone very close on a quicker surface. She looked magnificent before she left for America, she is a genuine Group 1 filly, and although this is obviously a hot race (she faces the 1-2-3 from last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf), I would be very hopeful she would be involved in the finish.

Yes, it sounds like Meehan thinks her ceiling is as low as you apparently do. Do I need to explain to you that he clearly thinks she's good enough to compete against the best in Europe?
