Her loss at Saratoga was inexcusable, we all liked FU, but Songbird had everything her own way that day and was run down.

In Delaware, she fought gamely for the win off of the lay-off. No shame in that.
In her lone loss, She was racing while injured and would have won if Mike Smith had taken her out to see Forever Unbridled coming. smith said he didn’t want to blow the ground going 5 paths out, but if he had to do it again, he would have give Songbird a chance to see her coming. The same Forever Unbridled that had no excuse in the Distaff, where Songbird got placed second in error. It’s all there to see on the slow motion replay where JD Bailey called Songbird the winner.
