I think it is still a G2 though.

a million's a million. not too many of those around for distaffers. at least that way she'd be going vs older, not her overmatched peers..

You think Jess Jackson is that concerned about a few hundred thousand dollars in purse money on his $10 million filly?

jackson doesn't strike me as one to turn down a buck if the opportunity arises to get it. like i said, a distaff race with a serious purse. the fact she'd be taking older females wouldn't exactly hurt her reputation. she's going to run somewhere, may as well be for some dough.

Or she could run one furlong less in the Whitney against what should be one of the worst fields in the history of the race and cement her legacy with a win and then go on to further cement it with a win in the Travers. You think anyone will care two months after she's retired that she won the Delaware Handicap? If she won the Whitney and Travers she'll still be remembered in 100 years.

lol how would winning the whitney you just described cement her reputation?

Cause no one will remember who she beat. All they'll remember is that a 3yo filly went in and beat older males in the Whitney.
