You have to remember - even though the division appears loaded with up and coming types - that only means it will be harder for a single one to seperate themselves and dominate in the 2nd half of the season. Perhaps a Zaftig can - but we will see.
Perhaps the deepest older male division I ever remember was the year Favorite Trick won the horse of the year title - he did so because he cleaned out a laughable 2yo division while the older males took turns beating each other with 120+ Beyers to the winner almost left and right.

No disrespect meant, but I don't see 8 belles winning her division. There are several Grade 1's to be won out there between now and the end of the year.. sadly, she can't win them. If a filly like Proud Spell can win just one.. maybe two more.. it's hers.
