Anyway you look at it, she'll be going "two turns" for the first time in either race. I think.....go for the gusto and race in the Travers.
Proud Spell & Mushka will be tougher than Da 'Tara, Macho Again or Pyro and you get a weight break. Any thoughts..........

I would challenge BB to a match race with zero going to charity

As for Mushka....not a great return, but neither was BB's last race.....you can have him

Personally I think Proud Spell's on the decline. . . and to even mention Mushka in the discussion is ridiculous.

Who's better than her in the Travers?

A bunch of them Beyer-wise. . . so you're not going to defend the Mushka thing?

Yeah, I know her return race wasn't much....but she was good last Fall.
Still, Music Note has nothing to prove vs. her own....now the boys, that's another story.
Beyer-wise or not....the Travers will be a good betting race and that's about it!

Than who? Proud Spell? I don't know that there's anyone definitively, but there are a few who are at least as good. And three-fourths of the field is better than Mushka. Plus, for a one-run horse like Music Note, I'd rather face five horses with one good one than eleven horses with a handful of good ones. I thought pretty much everyone agreed that the Alabama was the easier race..

Well, it may be easier.....but, the Travers would be BIGGER against a weak group of three year old colts, thats all.

Retire her immediately and enter her in Dancing with the Stars.

I mean wtf with the what if threads.

If she's a one run horse, her run is very, very good. That being said, I agree. My arguments are made in the other post - no need to rehash them here. I want her to become 3 year old filly champion and winning the Alabama would help. She's eventually going to have to face Zenyatta and Ginger Punch. That will be quite a chore and if Music Note runs well against them, it will be an accomplishment.
