He planned on breeding her to Curlin the minute he bought her post-Oaks. It's one of the big reasons he bought her in the first place. She just threw a bullet work out there, so it's hardly evidence of her ability to get smashed.

This was all about Classic or nothing. If she was best suited for the Ladies Classic, we should've known he wouldn't wanna do it period. Can't make all the fuss about facing Zenyatta and running in the BCC, then bail and go the day before.

Saw her twice - Oaks and Preakness '09 - probably the two most impressive non-Barbaro races I've ever witnessed in person, superlatives intended.

Why the surprise though? It's not like anybody couldn't have seen this coming.

Will the bullet work be on her final racing form stats? Will they continue to work her as part of her breeding program?
