Groupie Doll

[Apad]

Off an impressive win on the Breeders Cup, Groupie Doll is now being considered for the G1 Cigar Mile against the boys. Hypothetically, if she were to win this race do you think she is a deserving winner of the Eclipse award over Royal Delta?

Royal Delta owns four wins (two G1's) all against female competition.

Groupie Doll would own six wins (four G1's) + A track record at Churchill Downs + A G1 win over the boys.

Royal Delta did edge her by a head for 2nd place in the worst performance of both fillies but Groupie Doll ran the fastest speed figures of the two in 2012.

What say you?

Depends on who shows up in the Cigar Mile, a win against a crappy bunch of males won't put her over the top of Delta's eye catching performances this year. But I like the way you think on the subject.
