as much as I love DOA...and have been a big fan of hers since early on, 2 things come to mind.

1. She was a very solid 2YO, but others seem to caught up to her,

and

2. Her turn of foot on the turf looks different than on the dirt.

Although she owns a win over the Churchill dirt, reason #1 will be the most likely reason I leave her off my ticket, especially at what will most likely be a short price.

but if churchill does the same prep on the track that they did last fall........
i'm surprised she is running-don't like to see late additions, last moment inclusions. regardless of what her work was just now, if she wasn't aiming for this for weeks, and hasn't got the proper conditioning, i'd hate to see her (or anyone, this happens so much this time of year) put in a spot she shouldn't be in, just because it's that week in may.
