Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SONGBIRD) (4-5) - Undefeated (10 for 10) daughter of 'Medaglia d'Oro' will increase her career earnings to a whopping $3,500,000 if she can win this afternoon. Last year's 2-year-old filly champ has won six G1 stakes and is five-for-five at this distance. She ships back east from her west coast home base and has been working like a rocket fires. The top pick, but she faces a pair with legitimate credentials.
2nd pick: #2 (Cathryn Sophia) (3-1) - She's won six of eight and has a bit of a 'home field' advantage. She's a perfect two-for-two here at Philadelphia Park and comes off a dominant wire-to-wire score here going a mile Sept. 3 in a $150K stakes. It was her first start in just under three months and she's worked fast since. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Carina Mia) (5-1) - She was no match for 'Songbird' in the G1 Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga July 14. She came back with a solid effort there in the Ballerina Stakes (G1) Aug 27 and is stretching back out in distance. Daughter of 'Malibu Mon' has a stalking style, draws the rail, and looks set for maybe the best race of her career.
