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. She’ll face the toughest field she’s ever faced this weekend in the Grade 1 Cotillion against Carina Mia and Cathryn Sophia. We’ll also keep a close eye on the Zenyatta Stakes at Santa Anita in a couple of weeks which will feature Stellar Wind and Beholder.
