Birdstone was winterbook favorite for the Kentucky Derby in January. Like Lemon Drop Kid, he was an example of a good horse being given up on too soon. Even Hansel, the
post-time favorite in the '91 Derby, came back at 8-1 in the Preakness. Funny enough, he was 9-2 in the Belmont despite winning at Pimlico by about 7 lengths...
