Her speed figures weren't legendary, but she ran a lot and didn't duck anyone.
Cool horse.

I respected her as well, but feel she was overrated.

Agree. It's Lakers or nothing. Davis won't commit long term anywhere else, Boston can't give up Kyrie for a rental. I wish the Lakers could get him and somehow keep Kuzma and Ball. It would make things really interesting.

I’m just waiting for Lavar to come out with some outrageous lie about his boy’s ankle injury, exaggerrating it so much that no one wants to trade for him.

In her lone loss, She was racing while injured and would have won if Mike Smith had taken her out to see Forever Unbridled coming. smith said he didn’t want to blow the ground going 5 paths out, but if he had to do it again, he would have give Songbird a chance to see her coming. The same Forever Unbridled that had no excuse in the Distaff, where Songbird got placed second in error. It’s all there to see on the slow motion replay where JD Bailey called Songbird the winner.

This isn't that nonsense about questioning the camera/finish line accuracy and declaring 'it's rigged, I tells ya!' is it? People need to put down the sherry. Nobody was declared the winner that shouldn't have been. The camera and the finish line are fine, there would've been a dead heat if the eyes have that hard a time figuring out the result. Give it up. It's bad sportsmanship and sour grapes.
