Oh, yeah Silverbulletday didn't get any better at 3, while Anees and Answer Lively did? Stardom Bound has already done better than War Pass did at 3, in terms of G1 racing.

Okay, you find the two or three examples against it, and I'll bring a list fifteen times as long of those that support it.

This is not uncommon opinion... girls TEND to mature faster than boys.

That was one hell of an effort by Stardom Bound.

Silverbulletday and Indian Blessing are the exception, not the rule. And you can't be serious with your second sentence. Who cares about age-restricted filly Grade I's? She's been slow since she came back, there's no arguing this.

i'm a little stunned by some of the reaction to Stardom Bound getting up to beat the formidable Third Dawn by a frantic nostril.

If she wasnt going 15 wide then she wins for fun

hmmm...I don't think so. It's hard to sugarcoat a narrow win against Third Dawn and the rest of that collection of subpar 3YOs. I'd love to see Rachel Alexandra vs. Stardom Bound right now.

I don't have the patience to read this thread.....but I hope nobody was impressed with Stardom Bound's final career win today.

I think its reasonable, if not likely, that she moves forward on dirt. I know she has been winning on synthetic but I like her action for dirt better. Now I dont think she wants to go any further then 9 furlongs and probably would be best suited to one turn sprinting at a mile at Belmont. A race like the Acorn sounds like a perfect spot.

I think that is the problem. She is always going to be 15 wide with her style and that jock. I think she's screwed in a full field on the dirt.

Scav · #15 03-08-2009, 10:04 AM

I might take an opposite stance in that maybe Smith realizes that they might be catching up with her and he won't be able to go 10 wide next time. Will hopefully ride a different race. I still pray for her to take on Rachel Alexandra on dirt.

Maybe Iavarone should give Calvin Borel a call.

I guess Im just still caught up in just being involved here because I thought the three biggest races on the card had great finish. I dont look at the form enough to know who really did and didnt show up for the races, I guess you could say Im blinkers on.
