She can clearly beat the fillies without a top effort. Racing doesn't need another filly who picks her spots to retire with a nearly pristine record (Azeri, Ashado, etc), they need something over the top. A big G1 win by a filly over males would be a huge boost to the sport. Either way, if she runs, I'll actually be rooting for Pletcher. I can't believe I just said that.

Who are you to call me names? I'm pointing out the facts and I'm every bit as much entitled to state my opinion as you or anyone else...I never called Pletcher "dumb", you don't win as many races as he has and be dumb, I merely stated my damn opinion and asked if maybe he's getting despirate for a classic win. I presented historical facts and even the PF's which indicate why he IS considering the race! Just cause I don't agree with your point of view, you call me a wuss...back at you, wimp!

I give you kudos for the retort and not crying to mods to have this taken down. The real point was not to demean you in any way personally, but rather to poke a stick at your conservative approach.

The very best stock is unfortunately owned by a small group of people. These people, ass was stated, are the only ones who can afford what she hass already become. They will not let her pass into the others hands and frequently race therir own well-bred stock. The financial up/downside to them is really minimal.

I would applaud them for taking a chance on where they enter. Believe me, if this were a colt they would likely take your conservative approach.

I hope she runs!

I think if a filly can set the pace against the colts she could wire. The boys won't want to pass her.
