G1 Cotillion

[stark]

Songbird is scheduled to arrive at Parx from Southern California on Monday. Owned by Rick Porter and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, last year's 2-year-old filly champion is now 10 for 10. She has worked three times since returning to California following her momentous victories in the Alabama and Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga.

Three Grade 1 winners and a Grade 2 winner are lined up to face Songbird. They are Cathryn Sophia, who won the Kentucky Oaks in May; Carina Mia, who won the Acorn in June; Paola Queen, the winner of the Test at Saratoga; and Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks winner Land Over Sea, who finished second in the Oaks.

Paola Queen, upset winner of G1 Test, will skip Saturday's Cotillion to run in Beldame at Belmont on Oct. 1, per Gustavo Delgado.
