You have to remember - even though the division appears loaded with up and coming types - that only means it will be harder for a single one to seperate themselves and dominate in the 2nd half of the season. Perhaps a Zaftig can - but we will see.

Perhaps the deepest older male division I ever remember was the year Favorite Trick won the horse of the year title - he did so because he cleaned out a laughable 2yo division while the older males took turns beating each other with 120+ Beyers to the winner almost left and right.

zafig has been super, but i would not even think of her right now, or just not yet... proud spell and maybe that darley filly if she continues to improve... EB does have the fact that the division is loaded, and they might all beat each other up, then they would have to step up and beat zenyatta. so maybe eight bells has done enough

i don't think eight belles has it sewn up, and wouldn't be surprised in the least if another filly got the nod. she only ran four months, not her fault obviously.
but several other talented fillies out there, and plenty of racing season left. now, if the rest of the division falls apart, maybe eight belles could get it.

If they take turns beating each other the rest of the year EB will take it.

When you have a bunch of very good horses in a division - very rarely does one seperate themselves unless their connections pick their spots very carefully.
