No fun anymore at the track.

Yet, she still might handle Country Star.

I think Indian Blessing would smoke Country Star...
Any Distance.

Its different... Speed Kills..
If Blessing were in this race vs Music Note i would bet Blessing, pound her if the price was right
i guess it all comes down to me not being as high on Music Note as others, and me thinking that Indian Blessing is the best 3yr old filly around.

music note will be 1-5 if not 1-9, ppl could get silly here.
country star will be 3-1 or higher.

I Slammed her in the bama, i took the 9-5 and loved it...
also hit pick 3 capped off with Ramon on the turf at a solid price the race after......
i like her better then music note, and would love to see her vs blessing again

I dont think its fair... Proud Spell is a lot more tactical and Prefers 1 1/8.... Proud Spell would be more of a lock then Music Note. If Indian Blessing were in here, i would give her a chance to wire both of them, is that fair ?

They are damn close IMO and I'd love to see them hook up again. I'm not convinced Indian Blessing wants any part of 9 furlongs and while she would hold a huge tactical advantage, she wouldn't be on my tickets.

bama was 1 1/4, who has the advantage at that distance, CLEARLY Music Note.... at 1 1/8 proud spell is much much better IMO, and overall is much much better, because she defeated her at 1 1/4

Indian Blessing is a changed horse... you say yourself huge tactical advantage, i dont see how you could leave her off is she was in here, she'd have to be most likely winner going 1 1/8 with no other speed at all, now 1 1/4 is a totally different story again.
