Summer Bird ran well in only his third career run and second time around two turns, so he might develop into a nice horse.

yea that was a weak field. Win Willy almost went off at 2nd choice. Papa Clem had a slow lead in the slop in La. Derby and barely held 2nd there. (Which could be debated the Papa Clem hates the slop.)
