Whether she ran fast times or not, there's no denying Songbird's consistency. She retires win nine G1 victories. Hope all goes well for her in the future.

I admittedly haven't been following Songbird as closely this season as I did last season, so I suppose I could've missed an injury of some sort I wasn't aware of in one of her races this season? But assuming she's still sound and healthy, the timing of the announcement of her retirement seems a bit odd to me with the Breeders Cup literally right around the corner. Especially if the retirement is based on her loss here in the Personal Ensign, which was only the second of her career, and the two times in her career that she was beaten wasn't like she was clipped by some long shot nag or anything. Just sayin......

It was brilliant of Joel Rosario to keep Forever Unbridled in the center of the track in order to beat Songbird. These are two really excellent fillies.

24.14, 47.91 half and she couldn't seal the deal. Make Forever Unbridled's win even more impressive.

Songbird is great, but still a tad overrated. She would have been mauled by Inside Information, Zenyatta, etc., and even an in-form Life At Ten or Unrivaled Belle would have given her everything she could handle.And Stellar Wind has beaten Vale Dori twice. Songbird would have a very hard time shaking loose from Vale Dori and, especially Stellar Wind at this point in time.
