Little Belle has been trashed on this board, now she's a top contender for the Alabama? I like her and she always tries, but she's just not nearly as good as Music Note or Proud Spell.

I think she's garbage too but she'd be second choice if Music Note skipped the race.
What makes you think she likely wouldn't win? The Travers is wide open and I won't be surprised in the least if the Alabama goes in a faster time. How will running slower against boys somehow take more out of her than running faster against Proud Spell?
