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.

This isn't that nonsense about questioning the camera/finish line accuracy and declaring 'it's rigged, I tells ya!' is it? People need to put down the sherry. Nobody was declared the winner that shouldn't have been. The camera and the finish line are fine, there would've been a dead heat if the eyes have that hard a time figuring out the result. Give it up. It's bad sportsmanship and sour grapes.
