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.

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?

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

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!

Here YOU go DrugS

Tell me if you can see why Bob Benoit 'figured' today at 17:1. Then I'll take a look at what Davidowitz has to say about setups.


Easy 1 number exacta with the favorite, too.
