Champion filly Songbird will ship east and spend the summer away from her Santa Anita home. According to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer the champ will be pointing towards Grade I races at Saratoga and Parx in July and August. Songbird was an easy winner in the Grade II Summertime Oaks last time out in Arcadia, after battling a fever in mid-April. She remains undefeated with eight straight victories and has earned over $2 million. The $300K American Oaks at Saratoga on July 24 is the expected next start under regular Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith.
