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.

random: I had a dream the other night that Stately Character won the Derby and was at higher odds than Giacomo.

I also dreamt that Jason Lewis proposed...I think that is more likely to happen.

I had a dream that I was in a law school class with my laptop, that I forgot to turn off my volume, and accidentally triggered a youtube video about squirrels that embarrassed me in front of the whole class.

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

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!
