My post on the Cotillion thread notwithstanding, in retrospect it wasn't a complete mismatch on speed figures. Seattle Smooth absolutely crushed last out (first time for Tony Dutrow--go figure) at Delaware. In fact, her Beyer for that race was higher than Music Note's for the Gazelle. Maybe a new contender has emerged.
Proud Spell obvious has the better resume, going off of both races won and horses defeated. The thing that both fillies are missing, and that Music Note perhaps is in better position to achieve, is a win against older horses. In that respect, all either has to do really is place in the Distaff, or worst case, finish in front of the other in the race.
