I owe you a debt of thanks. I have always wondered what it was that broke down Go for Wand. Same with Flanders. Now I know. It was running against the boys because that's the only way that fillies can get hurt.
If running against boys kills fillies, why did the same Serena's Song that you mentioned win the Jim Beam and the Haskell? Why did Winning Colors and Genuine Risk win the Derby? Why did Rags to Riches win the Belmont? Whey did Lady's Secret and Personal Ensign win the Whitney? Why did Zarkava win the Arc? Why have Goldikova, Miesque, Royal Heroine, and Ridgewood Pearl all won the BC Mile? Why have Pebbles and Miss Alleged won the BC Turf?
