\nWe go across the Pacific to Seoul,\u00a0 South Korea for this year’s rendition of the Group 2 marathon event,\u00a0 The Old Lady.\u00a0 Contested at\u00a0 ~2800 meters (or 14 furlongs for the metrically declined),\u00a0 a dozen older fillies and mares will look to outlast the others for the winner’s share of the $375,000 purse on tap,\u00a0 and to collect the accolades at the trophy presentation ceremony following the race. \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThe field is led by multimillionaire favorite Unbridled Logic,\u00a0 fresh off a 2016 Eclipse Award for older dirt long female.\u00a0 She also looks for a repeat victory in this event,\u00a0 which propelled her to her championship season last year.\u00a0 She faces G1 winning millionaire Elite Titleist,\u00a0 and G1 winner Perfect Metzli.\u00a0 G2 winner Royal Blessing comes up as the co-second choice,\u00a0 with four other stakes winners looking for the upset.\u00a0 Let’s take a closer look at them in post position order and see how they compare. <\/span>
