One horse who's form is pretty interesting is Birdstone.
Like War Pass he won the Champagne at age 2 after breaking his maiden first out at Saratoga.
Like War Pass he returned in a manufactored allowance race at Gulfstream Park and beat a weak field at 1/9 odds
Like War Pass he bombed next out as the heavy favorite. He finished 5th beaten double digit lengths in the Lanes End at Turfway Park - behind the likes of Sinister G., Tricky Taboo, and Little Math Man.
In his next three starts, he'd throw a shoe in the mud on Derby day, and swept the Belmont and Travers.
If people want to put a positive spin on the chances of War Pass rebounding, the form of Birdstone would be a pretty good place to start making their case from.
