They say that her last workout was her best ever and it could be a huge mistake to wait 1 extra week to run her. Shes ready to run now. The Travers comes up as perfect timing. Would be a race for the ages.

I just don't understand the logic on running her in the Pa Derby. If Phila Park starts throwing her bonus incentives and such then Jess Jackson just looks like he's ducking to grab an easy extra money. I mean the guy sports himself as liking a challenge, how does going the Pa. Derby challenge her?

She doesn't race in the Alabama because their is nothing to prove in her division, fine I'll go with that, Running her in the Traver's proves very little because she already beaten the boys twice, so what does running her in the Pa Derby against lesser competition prove?

Outside of grabbing extra purse money, I fail to find the logic as it implies to Jess Jackson wanting to have a challenge.
