Please god let them put this filly away for 3 months

OK, let\'s go through this.
Both the trainer and (I believe) the owner have said that their objective is to win HOTY with this filly; so what needs to happen to achieve that?
Right now the top competition for HOTY honors are Einstein, Well Armed (coming back from Dubai to the Santa Anita BC) and Zenyetta. Of course she will beat none of these in the Belmont Stakes.
Therefore from a risk/reward perspective winning the Belmont has little upside toward RA\'s objective of HOTY since the plan must be to beat one of those three on the track (unless they hope one or more of them stub their toe along the way) and considerable risk of (a) injury and/or (b) poor performance.
So if the RA camp keeps their \"eyes on the prize\" as we used to like to say then they don\'t enter the Belmont and put together a campaign targeting Santa Anita and, who knows, maybe Zenyetta decides to go in the \"Non Gender-Specific Classic\" and all four run on Saturday.
Some times you get to the right spot even if it\'s not for all the right reasons.
