Judging by the way she has run this year and how she gamely held off Macho Again and Bullsbay, JJ and SA ducked correctly last yr. Can't blame them for that, I just wish people would stop making them out to be the great sportsman they pretend to be...

All options are open, when she gets her fitness level back up to last year's level. OMG...
