Matto Mondo for me with Champs and Dansant to follow him home. Dansant isnt actually that bad - ignore his last run and he has a strong enough profile (ratings wise) and should be very much at home on the surface which cant be said for the rest!
Such an American hater!!

Fillies never tend to progress like males do from 2 to 3... Stardom Bound, touted by some as the next Derby winner, is another example IMO.

i agree. but i also feel she was yet another top two year old filly who will not be as domineering as the three year old season progresses.

Oh, yeah Silverbulletday didn't get any better at 3, while Anees and Answer Lively did? Stardom Bound has already done better than War Pass did at 3, in terms of G1 racing.

Okay, you find the two or three examples against it, and I'll bring a list fifteen times as long of those that support it.

This is not uncommon opinion... girls TEND to mature faster than boys.

That was one hell of an effort by Stardom Bound.

Silverbulletday and Indian Blessing are the exception, not the rule. And you can't be serious with your second sentence. Who cares about age-restricted filly Grade I's? She's been slow since she came back, there's no arguing this.

i'm a little stunned by some of the reaction to Stardom Bound getting up to beat the formidable Third Dawn by a frantic nostril.

I guess Im just still caught up in just being involved here because I thought the three biggest races on the card had great finish. I dont look at the form enough to know who really did and didnt show up for the races, I guess you could say Im blinkers on.

No filly who wins a G1 race is a piece of crap......but this year's crop of 3 year old males would destroy her. She's an above average filly, and should race against fillies the rest of the year.

Artiste Royal had a terrible trip...Bejarano had him parked behind the the fading speed with no where to go. I would have like to see him with some room, I love his usual closing kick.

ah ive just had a longer look - wide wide open, if blue exit is only 7-1 now despite worse euro form than Dansant at 19-1, i think he might actually do OK.

Yay Helen!

(I've apparently been under a rock, didn't realize she'd married Scott Blasi's brother last year.) Has a female trainer won the Big Cap before?
