Yep; is there some stalwart in the FM Sprint or is the Distaff a free-for-all now that Midnight Bisou is out?

Why would Ce Ce and Ollie's Candy not at least consider the FM Sprint as an alternative (should be the primary objective).

Maybe the BC can solve this dilemma by creating a FM Dirt Mile?

Just feels like with all of the speed in the F&M Sprint it will help CeCe. Plus I think she’s better around 1 turn. She has a shot in the Sprint. No shot in the Distaff IMO.

Agreed. I thought the same in the middle of the year despite the Apple Blossom win. Not sure if she has had excuses in her one turn starts this year, but in general, horses that make a middle or late move are up against it in 5-horse fields in California.

Conditions would more than likely be to order in a 7-furlong full field at Keeneland.
