I suspect he knew she wasn’t the same horse at 6 that she was at 5 and especially at 4. She probably had some minor things going on. I know he didn’t ask her for much in any of her training that entire year and then suddenly just prior to the Classic he started working her much faster and cranked up for one last big effort. I’ve seen that move with a few of his other horses over the years. That’s probably why he chose not to go to Saratoga also. He just wanted to make it to the end of the year with a fresh horse for one last big effort because that’s all she may have had left.
