Default Should the Alabama be off the table?

I know the public wants and the logical choice's at least competition wise is race RA in the Travers, Personal En.and maybe just maybe The Woodward and of course I'm sure they are even thinking of shelfing her until Belmont Fall.

But should the Alabama totally be off the table? Think about it, it would be a $450,000 cool easy public workout, she would pad her ever growing impressive resume with one of the best most prestigious Grade I's for filly's in the Alabama (which is basically the second jewel for the girls) and the connections can really test her at a 1 1/4 without much fear. Correct me if I'm wrong but she hasn't raced at this distance yet.

Then she can rest up for a bit and either tackle the older Lady's in the Beldame or tackle the older males in the JCGC.

I know it's not "sexy" decision or what everyone want's but would it be such a bad idea? I mean it is the Alabama after all.

What do you guys think?
