Betting Music Note to Show

[Betsy]

Ugh, that's right.......I forgot about the synthetic. That's not going to prove a thing.....shoot. I wish Music Note could face at least Ginger Punch before the Distaff (she won't be facing PS again) so we could see how good she is on a real dirt surface.

Ginger Punch is running in the Beldame in 2 weeks -- no way Godolphin runs Music Note back in 2 weeks against Ginger Punch. They could try the Spinster at Keeneland in 3 weeks if they want to see how she fares on synthetic. But she has had alot of races this summer (including a tough one last time out against Proud Spell) and I cannot see them running her again before the Breeders Cup.

good points, thanks! Yep, I guess she'll go directly to the BC - if she doesn't handle it and runs poorly, it's not necessarily a reflection of her ability and she'll get a nice long rest before her 4 year old campaign.
