Kentucky Oaks only on her agenda, if only it was the Derby it will make for scintillating viewing.

Has to be entered in a race where she can accumulate points towards the Derby. So far the races she won does not qualify her for points for the Derby. Before all Money Earned in Graded victories and places counted towards qualifying for the Derby. The last filly to win the Derby, is the aptly named, Winning Colors.

Rachel Alexandra was the last filly to win the Preakness, and Rags to Riches the Belmont.

Now unbeaten in six starts, the last five graded events, Songbird has more than $1.7 million in earnings. She'll likely end up in the April 9 Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I) next, her last prep toward a start in the May 6 Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.

I thought she was in American pharoah's age bracket. Must have gotten it wrong.

You could have mixed it up with the 4yo undefeated filly, Lady Eli, who won 6 in a row, same age bracket as American Pharoah. Lady Eli, is recently back in training after stepping on a nail and as a result developed laminitis after that.
