Agreed. I'll tell you what, I don't care what anyone says but I'd love to see her in the Classic and not the Distaff. She ran the last 1/16th in under 6 seconds...rough math and all that's impressive.

The track is a highway today so times or fractions really dont mean a whole lot.

But to come from off the pace so effortlessly...

She does things pretty effortlessly, if she does go to the Classic and wins, alot of if's yes. Can anyone deny her a HOY Eclispe award? She's a big filly and I don't think it would be a disadvantage for her to try, in addition she would get a weight allowance and at her size that would be sort of giving her a 5 ft head start not as if she needs one.

She's not going to the Classic but she should be. And if she won she'd absolutely be HOY.

Fascinating that an amazon like her that comes from way behind, was within three lengths of the pace and still sailed on in ...
It showed me a new dimension, even conceding the slow early pace ...
This mare is just too good ... She is elegant, full of personality, and can run ... Perfectly ...
Despite the clamor to run her against males---where she does belong---I applaud the connections that are letting her grow into her huge body and mature mentally ...
If she runs next year, I can not see her not going against males ... And successfully ...

wow Tiago was like a gazillion wide. With a better trip he would have won.

Yes, he could have won with a "smart ride" which is an oxymoron when Mike Smith is the jockey. Stardom Bound is good enough vs. her competition to overcome that ride but Tiago is not....

The ride on Tiago was so bad i was embarassed for Smith.

If ever there was a time to run this horse versus the boys it is now. Zenyatta has the look of a real monster. I'd be happy and stunned with even money in the LC (distaff).

Agreed, the supplemental fee is probably the hold up I presume?

I don't understand. I didn't realize that they would have to suppliment; and even if they did, i thought that they would have to pay that fee for either the LC or the Classic. I thought the nomination was for the entire Breeder's program and not a partiular race.

I'm not sure, maybe someone can clarify.
