Default Distaff

Wow what great a wonderful field of fillies and mares. Should be a really exciting race. One thing for sure, if Songbird wins, she'll have proved her greatness vs the best. There are 6 hosses in the race who should be favorite every time they run. If stellar wind runs at Songbird early and really hard, curalina gonna be difficult to handle at some point. I just think this filly looks so perfect she must be that special one like Go For Wand was.

I like songbird, despite thinking she's somewhat over hyped, but to compare her to go for wand is nutty.

It's the 100-1 comment that drew so much ire. Even the most skeptical of serious cappers would be hard pressed to put Songbird at worse than 10-1.

Here's my, admittedly crude, line for the Distaff:

PP# Horse.......... FairOdds (to 1)
1 Songbird......... 6
2 LandOverSea... 400
3 Curalina.......... 10
4 CoronaDelInca. 400
5 StellarWind...... 2
6 ForeverUnbr'ld. 18
7 I'mAChat'box... 12
8 Beholder.......... 2
