Seems like they will be making a decision by the end of the week, heres an article from drf.com. If all is well with her after the last race, i'd love to see her goto the BC.

Vacare on fence for Breeders' Cup
By MARTY McGEE
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Trainer Chris Block said Monday that no decision has been made on the Breeders' Cup status of Vacare, the 3-year-old filly who stayed unbeaten by winning the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Saturday at Keeneland.

"We're going to evaluate her this week and hopefully have a decision by the end of the week," said Block. "She ran awfully hard, but obviously she ran awfully big, too."

Vacare earned a lifetime-high Beyer Speed Figure of 100 with her half-length victory over late-closing Mauralakana in the QEII. Vacare, by the noted turf sire Lear Fan, was bred and is owned by the Lothenbach Stables of Robert Lothenbach, a longtime horse owner who owns a major printing business based in Eden Prairie, Minn.

Block said the ultimate decision on whether to run Vacare against older horses in the BC Filly and Mare Turf on Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs will be made by Lothenbach, who long has raced his best horses primarily on the Chicago circuit, where Block is based year-round. Vacare ran her career mark to 4 for 4 by winning the QEII, which was her first race anywhere other than Arlington Park.

For Block, who until Saturday had never won a Grade 1 race in 17 years as a trainer, the 48 hours following the QEII triumph were filled with "a lot of phone calls and a lot of congratulations. It's been unbelievable, just great."

I think this would be a big mistake, and I like the horse a lot. She's won four times in a row, stepping up in class each time, and considering she has not yet faced quality elders, I think they would be making a big error by sending her. I understand you want to strike while the iron's hot, but this is a lightly-raced filly who has the potential to be something very special at 4..

come to think of it, I agree with you. Im sure the connections will make the right decision. I would love to see her there, but whatevers going to make the career last longer is best.
