what i talked to lori about in our late night conversations was more of the fact that the horse was getting no respect and if he paired up he could win or be right there , certainly i was not one of the poeple on here or on the other racing board i frequent who thought he was a one hit wonder
tell me sir how i should have bet to validate my opinion? the MM/MTB exacta either way was a much much better payoff then just a MTB win bet no?

Mine That Bird was a one hit wonder, that is until he validated his Derby Race last week. You either went with him in the Preakness on the premise that he was improving, and the Derby was for real, or you against him wanting him to prove to you that the Derby wasn't a fluke based off the trip, ride, and wet track. So technically until we saw a race that didn't setup perfectly for Mine That Bird, yes he was a one hit wonder. That happened in the Preakness, and he still ran a very good race, so now, he sheds the one hit wonder label. I wasn't going to bet him on Saturday because I wanted him to prove to me that the Derby wasn't a fluke that was based solely on circumstance. He proved me wrong, and that's fine. I was wrong and I can live with that.
