IT’s been some week for the girls. It began in Keeneland last Saturday.

To kick things off at the Breeders’ Cup, Mike Smith declared the two-year-old filly Songbird as his new love when she ran away with the Fillies Juvenile. She is mentioned as a possible Kentucky Derby contender. The aftermath of Maria Borell’s win was unfortunate but she goes down as the trainer of the Sprint champion Runhappy.
