Alabama!

I was more comparing the circumstances than the horse-

1. Careless Jewel's competition leading up to the race was not stellar (though no argument Songbird is much more accomplished).
2. She was all front end.
3. She did not have a 10 panel pedigree.

She not only relished the extra distance, but improved 4 lengths in the stretch run. I can see the same scenario tomorrow.

At this point I'm using Family Tree and Going for Broke with her as both can shade a wicked early pace and not lose touch. Family Tree looks like she could be sitting on a big move up in class. I think Go Maggie Go is going to be a pace victim.
