Afterall - he might just be the single best horse Bennie L Woolley Jr. has ever trained!

fat - look at how he closed in the KY Derby , just like Secretariat

I hope that these horse don't get ruined like the one's that ran against Big Red in the TC

remember Sham in the Belmont , he was like a little kid out there running against Big Red , if Mike Smith doesn't botch this next Sat , i think we could get a TC winner this year fat

marty marty marty marty marty marty marty!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm sorry... I'm going to give Mine That Bird the benefit of the doubt as to being a good horse, and let him prove me right or wrong.

But please dont compare him to secretariat... try not to even let that thought pop up in your head... it will only make things worse!!

I'm actually half willing to buy the oxygen deprevation training angle on Mine that Bird, incidentally.

I'm sorry I opened this can of worms by comparing final half times of this year's Derby with those of Ghostzapper and others. I should be banned.

honey I agree with you that the horse was flying.

But how can you compare a horse who was 4th in the Sunland Park derby to maybe the greatest thoroughbred of all time.

And just because the last 1/2 mile was in secretariat like speed... you have to incorporate the FINAL time for the whole race... which was like 3 full seconds slower than Secretariat.. or 18 lenghts slower.

thats right buddy, if they would have ran identical races this past saturday and were both in the field, Secretariat would have won the race by 18 lengths. Thats almost like how Rachel Alexandra won her race.

Does that help at all?



and please do not respond with... "he was flying the last 1/2 mile, no?"

Street Sense ran his last 6 furlongs in 1:12.79 as opposed to Mine That Bird going 1:12.95 but nice try. And if you really find the need to bring Secretariat into the discussion, well he ran his last 6 furlongs in 1:10.56.
