I think we can look forward to a challenging 4 - 5 race campaign including the likes of the Donn, The Foster, The Woodward and the BC Classic. You can bet the races he picks for her will be on tracks tailored to her strengths.

If she goes in the Donn and is still around for the Woodward and Classic it would be hardly a soft campaign

That is some pretty funny stuff there. Good job.

What person doesn't try to pick spots for their horse where they have the best chance to run well?

Maybe a guy who wants to make some sort of history? Being that she is a filly there are a whole lot more options for her to avoid losing. Personally I think he will just try to keep her undefeated all year which is fine but if he doesn't take a few chances, especially going 1 1/4 then her 4 yo season will be a disappointment. I'm guessing a tune up at FG, the filly race on Derby undercard, S Foster, Whitney, Beldame, Classic.

Conventional dirt version. I love when people say 'conventional' dirt. It just sounds funny

He wants to make history only if it's on his terms, what kind of courage or challenge is that really?

As opposed to on your terms.

I see the conflict now.

You mean the Frankel micromanagement style or the Mike Dickinson OCD method?

Yeah that was a joke...
