Do you think Jackson would instead consider a race like the Stephen Foster or the Fleur de Lis against older filles and mares for RA (since RA loves Churchill and is stabled there)? I don't think Einstein is good enough on dirt to scare away the competition in the Stephen Foster.

I'm not sure she is running. I am sure that Jackson wants her to run. It all comes down to whether Asmussen thinks she is ready at this point.
