I hope everyone was able to watch Songbird this evening. What a race horse, awesome win by her. Interestingly enough, earlier on the Saratoga card Bird Song (Marylou Whitney's filly) won her race. I was wondering how the race name came to be. Here's a nice link explaining the name as well as the interesting history of the Coaching Club American Oaks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachi..._American_Oaks

Fun fact: "Future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Mom's Command won the 1985 Oaks under jockey Abigail Fuller, daughter of the horse's owner, Peter Fuller."
