All her other wins are within the sprint division.
Put it this way, should Big Brown, winner of the Monmouth Stakes on grass, be considered seriously for the Turf Eclipse because he also won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness?
No.

She won the Silverbulletday, a Grade 3, at Fair Grounds. The Davona Dale is run at Gulfstream.
The Big Brown analogy makes no sense. Last time I checked, the Eclipse is for best three-year-old filly, not best three-year-old filly router. Indian Blessing winning the Three-Year-Old Filly Eclipse would be nothing like Big Brown winning the Turf Eclipse.

Indian Blessing has won two Grade 1's, two Grade 2's, a Grade 3, run second in a Grade 1 and second in a Grade 2. That resume isn't comparable to Music Note's? How do you figure?
And what if Indian Blessing wins the BC F&M Sprint and neither Proud Spell nor Music Note win the distaff? Indian Blessing will have two wins over elders, while Proud Spell and Music Note will have zero.

Gun to my head, I'd say so too, but Jones' comments that she has it 'sewn up' were ridiculous.
