I tend to agree. Saturday was her first race in nearly 4 months, and even Frankel said a month ago he was just sort of tinkering around with her. What's the point in her running back in the Santa Anita Oaks and winning at
1-5? Give her a shot in the SA Derby, and if she doesn't seem like she belongs, than back off and point her to a more realistic 2009 campaign.
