Can you name any recent 2YO fillies that were better than her on dirt? I don't think I can. Songbird was a better 3YO than Close Hatches as well. She just didn't improve off her 2YO form. Sort of shows how good she was as a 2YO.

Songbird was overrated as a 3YO by some....but she was still VERY good.

As a whole do you think Songbird was better then Close Hatches? I dont. Close Hatches big win over Beholder and that Princess horse does it for me. Songbirds Del Cap was an eyesore. Her loss at Saratoga was inexcusable, we all liked FU, but Songbird had everything her own way that day and was run down.
