My only qualm is that Stardom Bound looks like a female Circular Quay; she's not going to win many races lagging 15 lengths behind. I wish Pasach could find a way to get her a bit more involved. In any case, nice filly.

Its very impressive when horses come way off the pace to run them all down but like you said those types dont win much. This horse probably needs to have more gate works. I really thout Palacio De Amour would hang on for me.

A group of us have been playing her since her debut. Was a very quick filly at the 2YO sales this spring in Florida. Her debut race was quite amazing also... The key will be when she goes two turns and to see if she can relax and be closer to the pace.

She actually is quicker but seems to finish up better when left alone, some horses that is just they way they want to run, does not seem to bother zenyatta any, not saying she is her but very good horses run their races no matter the style.

That is a superstar in the making..no doubt about it. Just watched the race and have posted before the "word" was she was going to be real good. Wow!

I would be careful to start labeling now. How many have we seen do this as a 2yo and just flop later. On top of that this horse is a deep closer and You will probably see more second and thirds from this horse than wins. Also Christopher Paash is a good 2yo trainer but most of his horses never develop to thier potential at 3

Is her next start the Breeders Cup? I wonder what her odds will be..

Paash said this horse is just crying out for 2 turns. She looked outstanding, and should be very tough going even longer.

I very rarely get on a horse and sing their praises but this one is special. Maybe I'm crazy but you just don't see horses gobble up horses like this. It's exciting, shows talent, and if the horse improves I think she's a monster. How far she will go I don't know but believe there's alot of upside and can't wait to see her run again. I can't say that about any other horse I've seen in along long time.
