Probably she was third best today after carving out that uncontested pace. However, if you line that octet up next Saturday I'll take Songbird over Forever Unbridled. And I bet Forever Unbridled today. Thought the top quartet all ran great (would've loved to see Stellar Wind not miss the break). Songbird just got beat by a hall of fame bound horse and by the slimmest of margins. She fought down to the wire which was what people wanted to see. Can't wait to see her next year.
Hard to think of a better start to the weekend.
