Songbird Returns

Postby TJ » Wed Feb 03, 2016 9:48 pm

I've been looking forward to Songbird's return to the races. Not really a great race to find a price....but certainly will be exciting to see how she comes back. I believe she is the best of her generation, male of female. TJ

Very exciting to see this filly return, she is poetry in motion. Agreed on it not being a betting race, she seems to be coming into this race like clockwork. Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy.

Fox Hills Farm Rick Porter announced Songbird will not run in the Kentucky Derby. I give credit to Porter, if you remember the last time he ran a filly in the Kentucky Derby, it was the ill fated Eight Belles. TJ

I can understand that... still sticks with me, and a lot of people, I'm sure. Devastating... :cry:

I hope she will face the boys on a track somewhere this year, though... she's crazy good!
