Excellent Meeting was a solid filly, but SBD was spectacular on her days. She won the Oaks at 9f easily when asked. That's as confident of a ride as you ever saw out of Stevens. Also crushed the fillies by 9 L at 10f in the Alabama. She was due for a rest when she went to the Belmont and was used too fast trying to go on the front. IMO, she's right there with Rags and Serena's Song as the best 3yo fillies of the last 15 years or so.
