It will be funny watching Tiago run by him in the Goodwood.

Well both horses are done, and it might be a battle for 6 and 7th, but MTB sucks.

I don't think they'll get close enough to him at any point of the race to do that.

Do you give Mine that Bird more or less of a chance in the Goodwood than you did before the gates opened in the KY Derby?...because if I recall not many people ever heard of the horse, much less gave him a chance in a race that dwarfs the Goodwood by about a million percent.
I mean, if he can pass 19 horses in the Derby why not 9 or 10 in the Goodwood?

cause these are older horses, some of which can run. Rail Trip will drown that horse.

Funny Cide was a nice horse, MTB is average.
