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:

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.:rolleyes:

Please.

I'd take even money there's a poster named Kasept with about 17,400 posts on Beast Forum.

The Fat Charts always make me think that the horse who finished last by many won by a huge margin everytime I first look at them.

Will the movie, Zoo( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(film), have an ad during the Derby?

Hard to believe ... but this thread has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Drugs....you've been to my blog. I'm touched.

I'll send you an autographed black and white.

Thanks.

Do you want the "S" capitalized in DrugS?

Just put a big ol' $ instead of an S.

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

for every terrian/mafaaz you have stuff like this. well, more on this end of the spectrum for sure!

i believe summer bird was the show horse in the ark derby. you know, yet another race that flattered john whites horse. :rolleyes:

that only worked once for me. i dreamt a chestnut won a few years back- figured it was peace rules.

nah, funny cide.

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

whoever that is!

Jason Lewis from Sex and the City? http://thevinylvillage.files.wordpre...ason_lewis.jpg If this picture doesn't drive you to drink, nothing will.

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. :zz:

Count me in this camp:zz:

that explains why i hadn't heard of him. haven't seen it.
