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.

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.

She won the Silverbulletday, a Grade 3, at Fair Grounds. The Davona Dale is run at Gulfstream.
Actually, until a couple of years ago, the Silverbulletday was called the Davona Dale. My mistake. I would still say that the creation of a seperate female sprint division title lessens Indian Blessing's claim on the 3yo title, though I realize a lot of her sprint wins were age restricted. Its hard for me to believe that the voters will give her both Eclipses even in the event that she wins and the other two bomb horrendously on BC day.

Indian Blessing has been the best 3yo filly of 2008. It's really that simple. The award doesn't say who's the best one at routing or who's the best one at sprinting. It ask who is the best one period and that answer is Indian Blessing. What I'm hoping for is Midnight Lute to not make the Sprint and Baffert enter IB in the open race against the boys. After she drills them there, then can we end this 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.
