LOL.

I know, I know, it should be a romp in the park.

But just to play devils advocate for a moment......think about the thousands of horses we've all seen over the years, how many can you name that went 10 for 10 against stakes company?

It's just not logical that she keep on winning every single time, or is it?

Maybe we shouldn't count our dancing chickens before they hatch?
Beholder was considered a lock before the Clement Hirsch. Stuff happens.

I agree... my money is not necessarily where my mouth is. Maggie has her work cut out, but maybe a small saver is in order.

Saw Songbird yesterday at the Spa. She just glides over the track, winning going away. Mike Smith brought her back in front of the grandstands after the race and saluted the crowd and the crowd went wild.

Saw her at her barn the day after...she was as sweet as ever. Now she is back home in SoCal. Look forward to seeing her for the Cotillion, but it will not be the same.
