has nothing to do with whether she's a filly or a colt. if you have the best, you race that horse as such.

i think jess feels she can move up a step, while kensei possibly can handle the colts-leaving jess with two potential big wins. i wouldn't mind seeing rachel in the travers-but in a way, it's been there done that since she's now beaten the colts twice in gr 1's. the woodward has never been won by a distaffer-another first for rachel if she pulls it off.
