3 year old filly Eclipse?

Just curious.....what would your position be on these same two horses ( Proud Spell and Music Note ) if Proud Spell was an AP Indy and Music Note was a Proud Citizen?

I don't see why my answer in that regards would be relevant. I posted this question here because I thought (and I was right) that I could get honest answers without being picked on (I'm not saying you are, but I am tired of having to answer for my fandom). All I really said in this thread is that I think MN should be considered on equal footing with PS. I don't think that is so ridiculous a notion, certainly not so ridiculous that it's apparent that anyone that thinks that must be biased towards that filly because of her sire.

you really have to ask?

regarding the actualy discussion, i think indian blessing has an outside shot at the eclipse--but she'd need help. both current front runners would have to fade, and indian blessing probably would have to beat males in the bc to win the eclipse. even if she did that, the bias against sprinters vs classic horses might be too much to overcome.

i still think right now proud spell has the nod-but there is still racing left to do, so we'll see.

Since PS doesn't seem to like synthetic, I'm going out on a limb here and say she's going to be hard pressed to beat Zenyatta in the distaff. That almost rules her out for the Eclipse.

Music Note, while not as good a resume this year, is helped by PS losing today. She's an unknown on synthetic, but AP Indy seems to do okay on the fake stuff. Still, will she beat Zenyatta?

Indian Blessing looked just okay in winning over the synthetic, but at least she did win. I don't see any Zenyatta caliber horses in either sprint race, so who knows.

i think so too, unless music note take the distaff.

Clearly Zaftig deserves the Eclipse.

She beat Indian Blessing. Indian Blessing beat Proud Spell. Proud Spell beat Music Note.

Clearly Zaftig is better than all of them.

End of debate.

I get what you're saying, but, again, I don't think another loss from PS rules her out of the eclipse if both Music Note and Indian Blessing lose in the BC as well.
