Race Replay
The sun is blazing as the heat wave that has dominated the globe continues to burn this week as we begin our journey to the Breeders' Cup after a two year absence!
It's the deepest field of fillies on the forum, and it's led the way by Kentucky Derby winner Illicit! The only filly to win the Derby, she only stands mere ears above the rest of her rivals but sports a pedigree and race record that no one can shake a stick at. 2018 Triple Tiara winner shares favoritism with her younger competitor and the classicly bred filly of Cyclone Princess and Skeptic looks to put an exclamation point on her already sparkling crown. 2019 Triple Tiara winner is right behind those two in the betting after a stellar season that saw her tackle colts on the Derby trail and knock heads repeatedly with Illicit in a rivalry for the ages. Mesmerize, 2nd in last year's Belmont Stakes and Acorn Stakes, will look to play giant killer after nearly upsetting TWO triples last year with her driving late run. Noble Hierarch, winner of the 2019 Belmont Stakes and 2019 Epsom Oaks, may come up a bit short at this 9 furlong distance but she's not one to knock when she gets her act together. Cynic rounds out this incredible field of fillies off a graded stakes win and will look to knock these upstart fillies off their high saddles with a late rally.
It's a small but monstrously talented field as five of these fillies have either won or placed in the spring classics of the last two years. But however talented they all may be one, only one can win that coveted spot in the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
The Road to the Breeders' Cup begins RIGHT NOW on Seeing Stars!
