What she could have done is quit running scared and actually risk losing by trying the Foster where the competition measured up. Just because the "other" camp is afraid of a challenge doesn't mean these guys need to suddenly get shy. Impressive but she beat nothing. I hope they step out next time- win or lose.

She needed a confidence builder. It was the right thing to do for the horse.

I was only talking about this race. She needed the win for the fans but more importantly for herself.

This is a very key point and as much as I would like to see her beat up on the boys again would it be wise to start laying out a competitive schedule against them ?

If their ultimate goal is to win the BCC I would think they would want something left in the tank.

I wouldn't run her against QR yet. I don't think she needs another gut wrencher right now.

Running scared? She lost twice this year to mediocre fillies. They should've gone in the Foster off of those two races? Slightly different circumstances than a horse on a 16-race winning streak.
