The only thing to take from PE race is that Cavorting can be very good around 2 turns. I think most people knew and still know that the other fillies were very real G1 quality. No earth shattering news there.

What makes the Distaff a great race, is depth of potential winners, IMO Songbird is a bad bad favorite, not because I don't like her or because she hasn't been super, just because she meets a deep field, and will need to run lengths faster then she ever has in order to beat 5 other serious G1 types. If Songbird beats this group with the same easy she has dispatched the 3 year olds, I am joining the Songbird belongs in same conversation with the other all time greats. Nothing in any of her races too date makes be want to bet on her. She wins I lose sport wins
