not desperate, he wouldn't be trying new things with a horse that heretofore was the embodiment of equine perfection.

If that's his mentality (which sucks by the way) then maybe he's not desperate but rather just throwing sh!t against the wall and hoping it sticks.

I'm sure he'd way prefer she move forward and earn a lot of money, but there should be a few soft spots in CA. If she loses or he doesn't like how she's doing I think they can call it a day and probably still do fine overall despite the steep purchase price.

I was never worried about the financial implications for the uber-wealthy businessman that owns this horse.
I'm more interested in her getting an opportunity to run at both 3 and 4 so we can get a true gauge of her talent.
Wheeling back in the Starlet even if she can win IMO puts her at risk for the negative scenario you spelled out above. If it comes to pass, it would be a cop out; and would leave some fooled by the "probability" that she was better than she showed.
