Is she bringing positive attention to the sport? People who follow racing know she ran but the rest of the sports world doesn't. There was nothing on the front page of ESPN or any of the other main stream sports sites yesterday. If she shipped and ran against credible fields or against the boys she would garner attention for the sport. These races do nothing to promote the sport to the casual fan, they just stroke the connections egos.

It was on Sports Center Sunday AM. I only know this because my brother, who doesn't follow the sport but knows that I do, and has heard me talking about her streak, called me yesterday to ask me where he could see a video of the race.
