I agree.
I kinda dont get it.

Maybe just not knowing what he will do on synth.
His work on the stuff was not impressive, but what exactly
were they hoping to get out of it... dont know.
He has run well on on grass and dirt so.... what is the deal?

I don't know what it is with Mike Smith with fillies & mares, he's ridden some great one's throughout his career. Saying that, that was not a good ride on Stardom Bound. That horse had every excuse to lose with that trip.

I feel if I use the "I wouldnt back him with counterfeit" line, it'll come back to bite me..

Matto Mondo for me with Champs and Dansant to follow him home. Dansant isnt actually that bad - ignore his last run and he has a strong enough profile (ratings wise) and should be very much at home on the surface which cant be said for the rest!

I gotta say, I'm rooting for Stardom Bound and all but Miss Silver Brook is an elegant lady in that paddock. I mean she sure looks lovely on the video feed.

Fillies never tend to progress like males do from 2 to 3... Stardom Bound, touted by some as the next Derby winner, is another example IMO.

i agree. but i also feel she was yet another top two year old filly who will not be as domineering as the three year old season progresses.

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.

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.

Artiste Royal had a terrible trip...Bejarano had him parked behind the the fading speed with no where to go. I would have like to see him with some room, I love his usual closing kick.
