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.

Do you honestly think that Seattle Smooth would give Music Note(or Proud Spell on a day when she's on her game) a real tussle? Music Note's Gazelle was ridiculously easy - the Beyer in that race is almost completely irrelevent. I have to go back to the Cotillion thread, but I doubt that anyone thought PS was going to lose.
I can see I'm a minority of one on this one, but no big deal. I just hope you are all wrong, lol, because I would love to see MN win the award. In any case, thanks for the replies!
