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.

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.

If she wasnt going 15 wide then she wins for fun

Honu · #94 03-07-2009, 10:01 PM

I guess Im just still caught up in just being involved here because I thought the three biggest races on the card had great finish. I dont look at the form enough to know who really did and didnt show up for the races, I guess you could say Im blinkers on.

hmmm...I don't think so. It's hard to sugarcoat a narrow win against Third Dawn and the rest of that collection of subpar 3YOs. I'd love to see Rachel Alexandra vs. Stardom Bound right now.

I don't have the patience to read this thread.....but I hope nobody was impressed with Stardom Bound's final career win today.
