What the Nation is saying about the 2009 Gazelle Handicap (G1)...

When Stardom Bound finished 3rd in the Ashland Stakes way back in April, she looked like a tired filly that day. But unless there was some sort of injury that I'm not aware of, I wonder if from April to November wasn't far too long of a layoff for her. She never really looked like she was ever in this race. It was her first effort ever finishing out of the money, and Stardom Bound is a much better filly than what she showed in the Gazelle Handicap. Certainly make's me second guess her connection's for such a long layoff.
  • cigar · Personally, I think Stardom Bound was/is generally overrated. Winning races like she did on synthetics does not cut it in more traditional dirt racing. Plus, she's another typical 2-year-old filly who was sharp then, but didn't move forward in her transition to 3. · 901 days ago ·

Stardom Bound had already won five Grade 1 races and an Eclipse Award before Unrivaled Belle ever made it to the races. But entering Saturday's Grade 1, $300,000 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct, there may be more upside to Unrivaled Belle than Stardom Bound, last year's juvenile filly champion.Read More
