What makes you think she likely wouldn't win? The Travers is wide open and I won't be surprised in the least if the Alabama goes in a faster time. How will running slower against boys somehow take more out of her than running faster against Proud Spell?
I admit I guess there is still a part of me that is semi-prejudiced against fillies running against the boys. However, mostly I worry about Music Note being lightly raced (she's only had 5 starts_) and lightly made. This is going to be a big Travers field and I just think that it's not good for this filly to be dealing with that many colts at this stage in her career. There are some very good older mares out there, so once the fall hits, MN will have her hands full with them. I'm just not sure that every good filly needs to take a shot at the boys.
