Found part of it, anyways.

She’s back!
Love this mare… What will she do next?
She is just so amazing to watch. She eats up the ground like a machine, all while being one of the most classically beautiful mares I’ve ever seen. Just adore her.
She’s fantastic. Granted she was running against, IMO, slightly lesser company, but still has the same running style (although that break out of the gate was a bit :eek: ). Hand ride all the way down the stretch. Stevens didn’t even have to fan the whip at her 
Mandela interview about Beholder.
Notch another one on her girth for the Vanity Mile. Hand ride by Stevens. Stellar Wind a nice second but no competition for Beholder.

She makes it look so easy!!
Many trainers will not want to send their GI mares out against her, only to have them come in 2nd or 3rd. But it makes sense to run GIII mares so they can get a GISP on their resume.
I can’t wait until she runs against the boys again. They are her real competition.
I would agree except I didn’t think Stellar Wind was a GIII. She’s a nice filly. And hitting the board in the Vanity would be a nice resume builder too
I’m thinking now that Beholder would kick any of this 3 year old crop in the behind. Will be looking forward to her against CC. Sure do wish she could have run against AP.
She is a really nice mare!
Beholder fans will enjoy this perspective on her conditioning.

Stellar Wind against Beholder
It was a good race, but Stellar Wind got to the wire first.

Victor sure does know how to get in the stalking position and just be patient. He did it with AP< Chrome and now stellar wind. Both great mares! Great race! this is exciting stuff!
Headed for the Pacific Classic definitedly.
This link was first posted in the Art Sherman thread. Reposting here because of Mandella’s comments. “She was tripping over that big belly”. He said her let her get too fat.
Beholder has her first foal on the ground. Nice bay colt by Uncle Mo

Interestingly, Beholder’s dam is due this spring with her foal by American Pharoah.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see those two meet up with each other down the line?

In people terms are they cousins, nephew/uncle?
