She's not obligated to do anything right now.

She ran in the Breeders Cup Classic against Gio Ponti and that 3rd place finisher from Europe that struggled with the turn and got the giant sheet number in the race.

Rachel Alexandra's connections have ducked her ... ON DIRT .. not the other way around.

If Rachel Alexandra wants to face her before the BC ... let her come out to California and run 10 furlongs on synthetic... she'll embaress herself doing that.

I was not implying anything at all. I just think it would be an interesting spot for her.

When you're trying to protect a flawless record ... the interesting spots are back home against Misremembered and Jeranimo at 10fs on synthetic in a pair of races you ducked last year.

They aren't in Chicago - against males - on a surface you haven't tried (but will probably love) - in a race that might feature true Grade 1 caliber males.

Baffert has said Misremembered is better on dirt, I beleive he is pointing for the Oaklawn Handicap, then the Stephen Foster... He did run in the Clark last year at Churchill and of course BC is there this year.

I assume Neko Bay will also move to dirt and run in the Oaklawn Park Handicap?

That would be the smart move... His top 2 career beyers came on dirt.

He won his debut on dirt at 21/1 with a 98 Beyer for Shirreffs several years ago.

The 98 debut Beyer probably puts him about 19th on the list of highest Beyers earned by a Shireffs runner in a debut race.

His top 2 are low-mid 100's.
