Filly doesn't need a new jock, or any jock. Needs time off to sort out what is bothering her - growth spurt coming, nerves, whatever. Quote from Bart Cummings (the greatest trainer now training, but he's in Australia) "Patience is the cheapest thing in racing."

There are far more Juvinile fillies who never progressed after their 2 year old season then ones that were able to improve as they got older. Countess Diana had a great 2 year old year and never won another stake. Stardom Bound was sold at the right time.

She doesn't need time off, there's nothing wrong with her. Sometimes horses lose, that's all.

Although it's obvious she hasn't carried her superiority from age 2 to 3, it's certainly possible that she'll handle the Churchill surface better than Keenland.

I wouldn't think she's any more likely to beat Rachel Alexandra on May 1st, but I expect a little better showing than the Ashland. Getting Gomez can't hurt, either.
