Smalltimer-- I try to stay out of nonsense like this, but that is one dumb post. That filly in New Mexico was undefeated too-- world beater.
Congaree-- try to contribute something other than "were you drinking" or "are you serious", okay? If you can't do that, at least be funny.
Since Jimbo is the size of your average nose tackle, I don't think he would be too concerned about meeting Shirreffs face to face.
I don't think it's the trainer's call and "gutless' is over the top, but I basically agree with Jimbo. These people don't need the money, they are not going to sell the foals, she's already got an Eclipse award, if you're going to run her, run her. Otherwise, what's the point? Personal Ensign ran against boys in the Whitney. Running in 5 horse fields under fake handicap conditions over synthetics at 1/9-- big deal.
