Why? Is there news out there that says they are no longer pointing to the CCOA?
My understanding from the Facebook page and TDN article was that she was pointed to Saratoga...
https://www.facebook.com/Fox-Hill-Farm-149399288440985/We need to correct or expand on some statements made in a TDN article today. The statement has set off an unintentional firestorm.
The statement reads: "We could go right to the Breeders' Cup then [after the Cotillion]. Obviously, we would run in the [GI Breeders' Cup] Distaff, unless Beholder (Henny Hughes) goes in the Distaff, then I have to go somewhere else. I am getting way ahead of myself, but you always have a plan and hope things go well." The statement was followed up with Rick repeating that he doesn't intend to race against males this year but will consider doing so next year.
Rick was distracted during the interview and said it somewhat flippantly, out of the respect he has for Beholder. Despite wanting to run in the BC Distaff and not wanting to run this year against males, if Beholder was to show up for the Distaff at the top of her game, we may look at the other dirt races on the card. If Songbird has impressed us where we feel confident going up against a Beholder who is at her best, then we will.
