I mean it's what I would do, but obviously I don't own a glorious mare like that. It's easy to tell someone else what to do with their horse.

I have no problem with the way they have handled their mare--provided the most they aspire to is the Older F&M championship. But if anybody opens their yap about HOY, they are "crazy" (if I may quote Andy Serling's post-race characterization today of anybody suggesting HOY candidates other than RA).

They have aimed low and they will likely succeed in hitting that target.
