Default Stardom Bound

Touted this horse before she every ran and I'm on board as thinking she's a great one and will only get better.

Races this Saturday to begin her 3YO campaign.

Looking for another exciting performance.

Aside from Indian Blessing and Silverbulletday, there isn't recent precedent for champion two-year-old fillies having big three-year-old seasons. She'll have to buck history.

She is so good. I remember when she was scratched in her first 'entry' at Hollywood Park, I asked Rupert Pumpkin about her and how I thought she might be real talented.

When I met Mike Smith at Del Mar this summer, he was so pissed at himself for losing in her in that Grade 2, and she went and broke her maiden in a Grade 1.

She's the Derby winner unless they cancel the race.

I was there that day. I saw that race coming up and asked an informed member of DT as well as someone on the inside of the sport whether this was a a race with some future stars as it looked llike some nice horse flesh. He said it would be if Stardom Bound would have run and said she was going to be one of the best horses in the world.

He was right and she could be. A nice race to start off her campain and hopefully she will get even better.
