Not really, she could go to Dubai and face Vodka or they could send her to Oaklawn and hope Rachel goes too.

I think they would have to put up temporary bleachers and open up the infield.

Oaklawn can pack them in and is the most likely winter/spring track for them to have a showdown because of size.

I hope they keep her going. Honestly, since her works seem to be getting a bit faster, I wonder if they are waiting 'til after the HOY announcement.

I was thinking they got close to 80,000 for Smarty's Ark Derby. With the size of the infield, they could pack in a pretty good crowd.

but to quote one of my favorite movie lines "Well, let's not start sucking each other's d*cks quite yet."

If she wasn't undefeated I'd say keep her racing. Retiring undefeated just has a special ring to it. I really hope they don't race her again.
