Maybe if she runs as a 4yo she can take a shot in open company,right now she would be best served sticking to her niche...

You aren't wrong about the purses, but the open races are not difficult right now.
That's the point. One reason Beholder ran in, and won, that Pacific Classic was because the handicap division in California was full of retreads ripe for a good filly/mare to come in and beat them.
MG actually would have a very good shot of beating up on a bunch of 3 year old colts this year. They don't have to do this, of course, but the idea that just because it's "the Travers" it is automatically some tough race is quite wrong. The Travers figures to draw a very weak field of colts this year.
