Why risk him losing a prestigious race like the Travers to a girl when she has already beaten up on the best that have come to her so far? Kensei, G-I at 10F = big dollars at the stud farm. Rachel - been there, done that, bring on something new. She will meet up with Quality Road some day. It just doesn't have to be the 29th. Unless of course he retires to stud before the Donn next winter.

Perhaps the secretive manner in wich she is being brought along at this time involves what we all are aware of. Jessies girl is vulnerable at 10f against colts. At least thats the perception I see out there, and Jess is aware of this as well as Stevie Wonderboy. I think Jess is torn between a personal intent to display greatness, and some forms of reality are in the way. Amongst a ton of critics, I would opt for G1 against females next outing, unless his beancounters can build a case for older males, wich seems like next choice here. We all want to see the Travers, however, and its the gutsy call of the three.
