I don't think she would like the turf course at Keeneland. Don't know what to think. Turn her out until Tampa opens next winter

Huh? Obvious conclusion? How about one person's suggestion?

So just because she's "used to" something means she has to do it for the rest of her life? She's of slight build, and smaller horses often perk up when they're turned back to sprinting (can't think of a more relevant example than Top Royelle, who's as small as they come). In my view, she's got a nice kick, but it gets dulled around two turns, so I think a turf sprint would be a worthwhile experiment if we found the right spot. Never said anything about that being the "obvious conclusion", so don't put words in my mouth.
