Probably a good guess. I'm glad the big 3 all look like they are gonna make it. I'll likely be on Beholder, depending on odds.

We've already seen Beholders best. I'm surprised no one else who saw Songbird has commented on her physical looks. I know some guys only understand the racing form and wouldn't know a 2 year old filly from a 9 year old gelding, but others who know horseflesh have been silent on this aspect.

Stellar Wind has never won beyond a 1 1/16

She was best in the Distaff last year. Not even really close IMO.

We lost our expert on pretty horses years ago.
