This partnership and your investment will go much further if we can maximize her value. You are correct in that this was designed for fun and for racing but to ignore the potential that a simple blacktype placing will give this horse is a mistake. That being said I think that the Arlington race , an allowance, is a strong possibility at this point.

Will she definitely not be ready for the 4th of July allowance at Churchill? We took on the older mares last time and saw they were nothing to be scared of. I'm curious cause it seems like from your position losing her condition for $30K would kinda suck when it could have been for $50K. Obviously for the rest of us the purse difference is a very small issue when it is split 100 ways and we'd be thrilled to have her in the winner's circle. Just don't want to see you get too selfless here!
