by the same token, she has the top filly championship sewn up-so she has residual value.

I guess you can't assume anything in this world, but let's say I'd be surprised if she didn't handle dirt. There were questions about Zenyatta, too, until she won the Apple Blossom. No, lol, I'm not saying SB is Zenyatta, just that not all questions are answered in the negative. Racehorses are always a bit of an unknown, but IEAH thinks she's worth the risk. There's a quote in the link below about that :
