If you called the shots on Rags to Riches.......

[Danzig]

if you're in the business for the long haul, or not on your deathbed, you sell. risk vs return, future racing endeavors, etc....

situations like this remind me of those two lucky fellows who took out second mortgages on their houses, and bought a filly who turned out to be special. she's a devil due--they turned down offers while she was racing, and refused to sell her as a broodmare when she retired. we'll breed her ourselves they said...she died foaling, and the foal was lost as well. it doesn't always happen, but it does happen.

so, if you're filthy rich and can afford any horses you want--by all means, keep her. but the question was if you or i had her--now, i may be wrong--but i don't think anyone here is filthy rich!!


as for her schedule, i'd prep her vs fillies, and if she's doing well, run in the travers. then see how things go--but i'd probably run her in the distaff---but with invasor retiring, the classic doesn't seem as daunting of a task.
