you have to expect on a deep closer that he/she will almost always be fanned wide and not have a perfect trip, especially with a full field.
but the 'old' stardom bound would have made it look effortless-she still is the old horse, but her competition is not.
I think that may be the way it is. I'd still go to the SA Derby with her. She has nothing else to prove against the California fillies and there isn't even another race for her here so run in the SA Derby and if it doesn't work, go to the Kentucky Oaks.

Is it fair to assume Stardom Bound is just not improving as much as her peers or is it a function of her running style that sometimes her races'll give you a pucker factor?
Or maybe the change in barns?

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?

While it was nice to see Helen win, the Santa Anita Handicap has seen better days. The older grass horses stink.

Rodney Rash was the first

i was enjoying the international flavor a bit-the 'cap this year seemed to draw a variety of horses. but it definitely had a turf field, regardless of what some want to call the main track out there.

Milf!

Actually. he was a Group 1 winner in Brazil at 3 - he won the Cruzeiro do Sul, which is considered to be the Brazilian Derby. G1 winner to claimer to G1 placer.

I'm waiting for a track to have a dirt course, and a synthetic course, which would mean we'd still have dirt racing, but we'd also never be off the "turf."

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.
