I just can't believe they paid $9.5 million to run her 4-5 times to try to win another $2.5 million and prove on the track what she's already proven in two different seasons.

I wonder if they are running her next year simply to hedge their bets in case she doesn't produce as a broodmare.

The bottom side is decent with her younger half brother a Grade 2 winner and tracing back to the dam of champion Heavenly Cause. But she also is from the family of noted bridesmaid Jacques Who and her sire just got exported to Japan.

Also, could this horse be another Myracehorse.com project? Apparently you can buy into Grade 1 winner Collusion Illusion; what sort of response will they get if they offer people a piece of paper saying they own a piece of a dual Eclipse champion? Might end up being a free ride for them.

I must have missed the race that Monomoy Girl ever ran that would be competitive in any meaningful open race against the boys.

I'm skeptical that she races again next year, and if she does I wish her the best but will be surprised if she is overly successful.

Couldn’t the same have been said about Midnight Bisou before she ran in Saudi Arabia? Who would have thought that Swiss Skydiver would win the Preakness after she was beaten decisively by Art Collector in the Blue Grass? I just don’t get what you have against taking chances. Should all trainers look to only run in spots where they will be 3/5 favorites? To me, the risk vs reward scale would tilt in favor of her running against the boys. What does she have to lose? More importantly, what is gained by doing the same thing she’s already proven time and time again over her whole career?
