Grass is a lot easier on a horse/filly than the dirt. That is probably why she will be racing for the 3rd time in 5 weeks.
I understand that as I said in my post. My thought is, for her last race, why not run her on the dirt? Just to see where she stood on that surface too. Again, this an ownership which has danced every dance and shipped 11 times. They like to take chances. To me its just another chance. Moot point here, just more of a thought.

If she was a stallion you could take the chance and make the money back in the breeding shed, but you can't throw away what many see as easy million plus if she wins.

She is all turf breeding anyway.

For the record, this isn't her final start.

She'll end her career in Hong Kong in December.....
