If she goes to the BC Distaff again this year, she will most likely see the likes of Stellar Wind (again), Abel Tasman, Terra Promessa, Paradise Woods, maybe even Salty (whom was an awesome runner up in the G1 Acorn) etc. It won't be easy this year! I really like Abel Tasman, and the wildcard of Stellar Wind (she either fires late or she don't at all). 2017 is the year of the fillies and older horses let's be honest here.
Nothing against Songbird, but would she now have nine Grade 1 victories if she had to regularly face an opponent like Inside Information or Azeri, or even Blind Luck or Havre de Grace?
Denise Somewhere Around Here:Not necessarily. Serena's Song defeated males, but was beaten three times by Jewel Princess; Havre de Grace defeated males, but Blind Luck finished in front of her four times, etc.

Beating the colts puts a filly in the highest echelon.
