Others must have been bidding on SB for the price to be jacked up that high, so I assume again that most people think dirt won't be a problem. I'm not going to argue that her damside is weak pedigree wise - clearly it is.

i don't know that they assume she can handle dirt, i certainly wouldn't assume it since she's only been on AWT. now, since the bc is on pro-ride again this year, maybe they're just hoping to win there in a year. either way, they've spent quite a lot of money to risk that a horse by two precocious runners will prove not to be.
by the same token, she has the top filly championship sewn up-so she has residual value.
