Without Dubai or a bona fide HOY campaign, just retire her.

I do agree with this.

And therein lies the problem. They'll never send her to Dubai and her connections and legion of fans think that Salted Margarita-Apple Blossom-Vanity-Hirsch-Lady's Secret-BCC is a HOY campaign, even if she loses the biggest one in that slate.

But the BCC win would make it HOY campaign, right? I mean if she beat Blame by a nose, is she a lock for HOY now?

Sure. There would have been a modicum of debate but I'm sure she would have gotten it and can say she would have deserved it given that QR ran miserably bad and Lookin at Lucky had no answer for the top two.

I'm against the categorical assertion that BC races are the be all, end all of Eclipse/HOY voting but when you have a horse that has had a campaign that included many weak races that loses the biggest race of her year, you can't vote that one HOY.

Only because no one else had a great campaign. Look why why she lost in 2009. When you play it conservative, your fate can be in the hands of what others are doing. Her connections and fans just don't want to seem to acknowledge this obvious truth.

I would love to see her racing in 2011.

If she does come back, however, I beg Ateam, Byk, anybody, to do the humane thing and dart me.

It'll be like Road Warrior. Who knows who will survive.
