It's all on the line this week as Cyclone Princess looks to cement her status as the top three year old filly on the forum after taking the first two jewels of the Triple Tiara. She looked nearly beaten in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes but found enough in the final sixteenth to drive between rivals to win by a narrow margin and leave the mind-boggling possibility open for a back to back Triple Tiara. She returns this week with the crown floating just out of her reach as we move the final battle to beautiful Belmont Park in New York state, where a nearly full field is once again expected to try and deny the Princess her place in history. It's all down to those final two minutes as these fillies lock horns for the final jewel of the Triple Tiara!

Three weeks ago, Cyclone Princess overcame a heap of trouble to win the Black Eyed Susan Stakes going away and stamp herself as the next potential Triple Tiara winner. With a cutback to a mile in the Acorn, it's the shortest distance these fillies will have to run in the series and could spell trouble for all of our distance loving fillies - including the Princess. Nonetheless, she's installed as the morning line favorite, with Rhapsody's top fillies Charisma and Honestly both the second choices, with Armin, Rozlyn, Antebellum and SeaBlue Royalty not far behind; all four of those fillies are coming off good efforts in the Rio series, with Wind the only other filly to be in the single digits. Midnight and Phar South both clock in as longshots, with both still searching for an elusive 2016 win. With 10 fillies heading to the fast track at beautiful Belmont Park, it's all on the line and the pressure is on the Princess as they all pony to the gate for the 2016 edition of the Acorn Stakes.
The Triple Tiara all comes to an end NOW on Seeing Stars!
