thats the line or spin they will sell. but it comes down to distance. i'll bet on it. they don't want a mile and quarter up here verses the boys. if the travers were a mile and eighth she would be in. face it, she romps at that distance and probably is the best. her only tough race this year was 1 and 3/16. believe me they are shrewd enough to know her comfort zone. i agree though it is great that she'll run in a race like this.
