Lmao. Ya songbird and her 9 straight graded wins including 7 graded 1s is shaking worrying about this horse. Everything isn't about beyer speed figures.

I said makes her competitive. Songbird has never cracked a 100 and is grossly overrated, while being accomplished because of her lack of competition. When she is no better then 5th on Friday all this madness can stop.

I was corrected via PM. Songbird has run a 100 beyer once.
Super filly for sure.
Remember Close Hatches? She would have buried Songbird.

Has Songbird ever had to finish a race? I mostly see the jockey riding side saddle waving at the crowd in the finish line photos. She wins easy and still goes faster than Vale Dori.

It's possible. I'm betting against it, but it's not impossible. What was Beholder's top # before she blew up in the Pacific Classic last year? How about AP's top number before the BCC last year?

Seriously bro? She was odds on and lost. You can make a living tossing horses over bet like her in exchange wagering. I gave her respect post race, while realizing she set a slow pace and still couldn't win. She's good, that's it. Nothing wrong w/ being good.

The fact you believe your opinion validated by a horse losing a head bob, to Beholder no less, is no shock to anyone.

Look Stellar Wind didnt fire had trouble or whatever and Songbird is suppose to draw off given the pace she didnt. Beholder ran a much better race not sure how many additional feet Beholder ran but it was at least 3 lengths. Songbird ran well but given the race dynamics I dont believe she ran to her rep
