she's taken on the best colts overseas, and has done herself proud. only one run all year against the gals...i say go for it. if she can run against the guys there, why not here?
as for those who worry about the breakdown factor--you're in the wrong sport. any horse from a cheap claimer on up to top horses can have that happen at any time. to bring that up makes no sense to me!
and i feel she has already earned the right to be an all-time great. carried more weight this year than any of our top horses this year, and ran against the boys repeatedly, a 'must have' in most minds.
