P-Dub,
Finally a response from the guy I thought was baiting with this thread.....
I expected to hear from you, not Congaree and smalltimer...
She beat Ginger PUnch on dirt and beat her handily. IT counts and for my money, it is her 2nd best race, behind the BC Win last year. Even though all the horses she beat in the BC were diminished by the surface, she did beat a quality field. Having the best dirt horses from the east go out west and race her on carpet is better than nothing, but not the same thing as her traveling a bit and taking on challengers on dirt. It seems from some of the posts here that Shirreffs is a popular guy on the board, but read the article on DRF. His words are ugly. "When you get closer to Breeders Cup time you don't want to ship around too much". Huh? It is Memorial day weekend!!! The Breeders Cup is 5 months away. He is worried about her having to ship and return to California and be ready in 5 months? Gimme a break. That is a ridiculous statement. Other horses are shipped to the Middle East and come back and run in a month or two. Horses ship coast to coast all the time. He can't do it ONCE with this filly? Is she made of porcelain?
