Did anyone really think Stardom Bound has been a wonder horse this year?

Am I the only one who smiles when things blow up on IEAH?

I was being coy. There were people (here included) who thought she was still good this year.

I absolutely love it when things blow up on IEAH. I am eagerly looking forward to Diamondrella losing the Matriarch.

Not that I think Stardom Bound is good, but the pace in the Gazelle today was dreadfully slow (24 and 48 if I remember), and the Ashland had a crawling pace as well. I think if Stardom Bound was ever a better price, she would be a good play in a race with some speed.

Granted that the pace was slow but stardom bound did not gain any ground and looked tired at the end. She is probably the slowest multi Grade 1 winner in history.

The track was extremely slow today. The :48 half was not really that slow. Stardom Bound was just never that good. Don't make DrugS come out of hiding and post the "where are they now" of the 2008 BC Juv Fillies field. It's frightening.

I always thought she was a late running sprinter

I could see that. I actually told someone that's why I wasn't betting her in the Oak Leaf or the BC.

Suspect the LaBrea would be a good spot to prove it.

I think she's very typical of many 2-year-old fillies of years past... they're awesome at 2, but they do not progress to 3 like their male counterparts. Then you combine that with the fact she was part of a weak group to begin with (BC field-wise, anyway).

To play devil's advocate, she did win 2 grade 1s in 4 starts this year.

If you factor the injury post-Ashland and the dirt this weekend then I wouldn't write her off just yet.

Ship back to SA for the La Canada series as someone suggested.

Just don't transfer her to Gary Stevens.

Remember when people thought she was a Derby winner? And you were a bad person to think otherwise.
