They can't breed her until next year so the timing is strange. Pletcher probably doesn't think she's able to be competitive with the top fillies going forward.

California Chrome earned 111 Beyer Figure in thrilling G2 San Diego on Saturday at Del Mar. Dortmund, runner-up by half-length, earned 110.

Both horses were coming off layoffs, although Dortmund's was longer.
Neither horse was geared up 100% for this race.
Chrome was giving Dortmund 5 pounds.
Many think Dortmund is best between 1 mile and 1 1/8ths.
Chrome has been running classic distances and had to shorten up from 1 1/4 to 1 1/16th.
Dortmund did get even with Chrome in the stretch, but Chrome was pulling away at the end which tells me the longer they would have gone, the more Chrome would have won by.

It's possible that Stevens and Espinoza will be caught up with each other stalking and Dortzilla could sneak away. Right now my strategy might be to put the pedal to the metal on D. A slowish pace just let CC stay close. But mostly I just hope they both show up in the PC with Beholder. Great race by both.
