Surprisingly after Songbird won twice at Saratoga in front of his own eyes, he still had nothing good to say about her. The Sport needs heroes. It makes fans for life. Secretariat, affirmed, Seattle Slew, and the Bid got me hooked for life. Who doesn't love Winx ? 25 in a row looking like a superstar every time. He compares her to Rapid Redux.
Songbird is about the 20th best female horse of the past 10 years. Get over it.

I doubt that anyone who saw her at Saratoga would agree with you.
Where would you rate Zenyatta or Winx ?

Based on accomplishments Songbird was a great filly especially at 2 when I would suggest she was at least as fast as Nyquist and the at the most dominant point in her career. That said she couldn't warm up a plethora of fillies we have had the pleasure of watching. It's ok to be objective and not knock a horses accomplishments.
