The Distaff – Songbird
2016 Record: (6) 6-0-0
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Jockey: Mike Smith
Analysis: This one is going to be an absolute showdown! I love Beholder and Stellar Wind, but will stick with Songbird as the pick for now. This certainly could change as we assess the last prep races coming up in a few weeks, but for now I think Songbird is the one to beat. One key prep race to watch will be the Zenyatta Stakes at Santa Anita on October 1st as it will match up Stellar Wind and Beholder once again.
