No Icon Project in the Beldame

Takes an awful lot of starch out of the Beldame.

Exactly. Look at Fabulous Strike who found out he isnt a synthetics horse and wasted only 1 race on the junk. He had a nice campaign in 08 before that race and was able to come back and have another nice year in 09.

For Icon Project, why not win the Beldame on dirt and then roll the dice at SA? If she doesnt like it, rest her for 3 months then bring her back at Gulfstream in February.
