That she got jobbed is one thing that comes to mind.
Her beauty and ability is another.

That might explain it for you, but what about RTH saying she's no better than Plum Pretty or Fatpiano saying her connections are ducking, of all horses, Stellar Wind?

Losing Songbird has got to sting Santa Anita.........of course the way they run their meet it seems kind of fitting.
Good break for Belmont getting more star power for their best card of the year.

At least she'll get a fair chance by the placing judges in New York should any hoss get near her, which is doubtful.

my least favorite race of the day is the Jaipur, so naturally i have a semi-strong opinion about it.

UNDRAFTED

i know i know, he's a plodder who always tends to come flying late and hit the board but never wins, but @ 12-1 he looks pretty juicy. Tough field, there seems to be four logicals, trying to think outside the box here.
