That part was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.

As someone else pointed out, the owner is in the driver's seat with this horse and the sheer ridiculousness of suggesting that the Cigar Mile is an "alternative" to the Top Flight shows what this filly is in for in the long run.

The sad part is, if the field does come up light, the filly could conceivably hit the board making her owner look halfway smart for about ten seconds. It would be as tragic as when Island Fashion ran 2nd to Southern Image in the Big Cap a few years back.
