That was a great race, but I really wish Stellar Wind would have gotten out of the gate well just to see how she would have run with the expected trip. It might have been 3 of them.
Beholder was terrific and best today. She goes out the champion she is.
I suspect that Songbird is going to be better next year with the seasoning she got from that stretch drive today. This is not the first time I've seen a top horse come up a hair short the first time they faced this kind of stretch battle. You could probably even argue that if they didn't go for the bigger money and easier spot in the Cotillion and faced older instead, she would have been more battle ready for today. Another great champion. No disgrace.
