As myself and others have said on here before … there is no reason to stick her in a 10f contest now.

The Pac Classic is too far out from the BC to serve as her final prep, in my estimation.

If Shirreffs put her in there … then ran her back in the Lady's Secret … he'd run the risk of emptying the tank too much before the big one.

Not to mention the fact that another win at Del Mar would do little to silence the nitwits who claim she's just a synthetic specialist.

But an unprecedented (first 6yo and first horse to win on different surfaces) win in the BCC will make them look like monkeys peeing into the wind when they try to diminish her greatness.


So you see … it's ALL about getting her to the BCC in the best possible condition at this point.

Never take your eye off the ball

John clearly understands that...
