Dallas Stewart is smart not running his mare against this superstar filly who would break her spirit forever. ( pun intended)

Maybe you should have been paying attention last summer when she was right under your nose. You might have learned something that would pick up your game. Try looking at the actual hoss flesh and try to expand your game. It's not all racing forms and replays. It's not just you watching replays with a couple of guys at the replay booth or center. Everyone can click and watch any replay they want. Your bread and butter is much more accessible than ever and you must adjust or get left behind. You must know that you're slipping. Watch Songbird tomorrow. Try to see her greatness. Think back to Go For Wand. Even a rockhead could take one look at her and know she was special. Like a gift from God. Remember how exciting ng it was to see her in the flesh. Songbird might be that good.

Well I certainly agree with 4 words of the post "might be that good"...Will see maybe too date she isnt very fast but she may take a step forward

I feel like I accidentally tuned in to a TV Evangelist broadcast.

Oh, it was no accident on your part. Reading it is much like rubber necking an accident you drive by on the road.

Yeah, that wasn't good. Reeks of Rachel Alexandra as a 4-year-old.

I don't like the way she was walking after the race

When these fillies go off they stay off....she ain't firing on all cylinders like,she was. I'd be nervous playing her into the fall.

Probably wont see her again. Kudos to Maggie for putting some perspective on that performance. Oh and I respect Stabile but IMO he's embarrassing himself with this best since Ruffian talk. Royal Delta IMO was much better then Songbird.

Have to agree that the Big A is totally out of sorts. Sweet guy has improved on air but geez man have a cocktail watch some of the other great fillies on you tube and move on. Extremely happy for Mr Porter but Round Pond would have beat Songbird today and that is not a glowing endorsement

The final quarter in 26.2 gutted her after loping on an uncontested lead with slugs behind her. Great career but lets be honest she was as dressed up as any Champion ever to run. She ran 1 outstanding race in her career, that would measure up in part to her ridiculous rep and it was in defeat (so what)

She drowned everyone for two years. What are you talking about freddy ? How many grade I races do you have to win ? All those fillies she thrashed showed promise.....then she came along and dashed their dreams. Try reading her pps and maybe watch a replay or 3.

The best horse she beat is an over hyped Rachel's Valentina and a very good Forever Unbridled that was pace compromised in her 1 of 2 excellent races both being on BC Day.. She will get maybe a 94 BSF today I think she has cracked 100 twice.. He isnt that fast never was

Showing promise? to be considered as an all time great you have to beat better then showing promise stock. Like Personal Ensign did in beating the KD winner. Like a Zenyatta did beating boys in the Classic and just missing, like a Rachel did in the Oaks Preakness Haskell Woodward.. Preakness Haskell Woodward BOYS BOYS MEN huge speed figs in all.. This filly is life or death to crack 100.. Mo Kat Land over Sea and a 8f Carina Mia aint winning colors nor the Belmont and KD winner or the great horses Zenyatta flew past
