HASKIN: "Birds" taking Derby wing..
 

Summer Bird and Mine That Bird BOTH Derby go's per Haskin..

I've never heard of either horse.

Summer Bird is at least an interesting horse.

Mine That Bird has $0 in Graded Stakes earnings and was 4th at Sunland Park last time out. His career top Beyer is like an 81.

Stately Charachter would be a 1/20 favorite against him in a head-to-head.

Can Mayor Marv be far behind? :rolleyes:

Is $138,705 the new $0? Wow I'll argue that when I can't get my credit card to work next time.

His earnings from the Grey Stakes in Canada counts? I thought that was a Gr 3 Canadian

I guess it is an open Grade 3...

He earned a 76 Beyer for this fine performance.

Guess we now know who the longest shot on the board will be.

Oh yeah. Top top competition for sure. I had thought you were just being sarcastic when you said $0. I knew he had a reasonable amount of money from being ranked ahead of Summer Bird, Mr. Fantasy, and Flying Private on the Kentucky Derby Graded Earnings chart. http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/rac...-earnings.aspx Nicanor had what, a 94,97 Beyer?

Something like that.

Nicanor would smoke him.

Nicanor would win the TC.....if only he had broken his maiden.

It was a tough setback for sure.

Closing significantly into an ACCELERATING split is 'sucking up'?

TFM, start your reading from the far right.

Smoke and mirrors my friend - smoke and mirrors.

Obviously some owners have a hard time differentiating derby fever and a migraine that's clouding their judgment:zz:

Man, I just read this thread about these hapless entries. I posted on another thread about hoping for some drama after tomorrow's Lexington, but maybe it's time for those in power to change a few of the entry rules and regulations of the Derby.

What are you talking about?

Gales will be unloading on Mine That Bird.

Afterall - he might just be the single best horse Bennie L Woolley Jr. has ever trained!

i'll take dunkirk in the derby thank you , after all i'm not on Drugs:eek:
