Indian Blessing's only losses this year are to Proud Spell and Zaftig, and she beat the former once. If she wins the BC F&M Sprint and neither Music Note nor Proud Spell win the Distaff, why shouldn't she be considered?

Music Note has the Mother Goose, CCA, Gazelle and a 2nd in the Alabama on her record. Proud Spell as the KY Oaks, Alabama, FG Oaks (I believe) and Delaware Oaks on her record.

Indian Blessing won a stake or two at the FG this year (one of which was ungraded, I think), the Test, another sprint stakes (not major) and this race today. If she wins the Filly and Mare Sprint, she deserves to be on the ballot for sure for 3 year old filly champion, but no - I don't think her resume stacks up as champion filly, not when PS and MN have done so much.

I for one think Indian Blessing is the best 3yo filly out there. And I think she'll get it if the circumstance above happens!

Sounds like Proud Spell is done for the year, at least according to Blood Horse.
