If someone told me they liked Mine That Bird last year I would have called them clueless. Even after the two true superstars got sidelined.

I'm not a fan of synthetic closers going first time dirt ... don't get me wrong - some will handle the surface switch fine .. but the dramatic improvement from such a move isn't even close to being as common as it is with speed horses and stalk, pounce, and fade types.

I wouldn't totally badmouth Setsuko's chances either though .. he will get pace to work with and he figures to like the distance and his young sire moved way up when switched from turf to dirt.
