Could be (from his PP's) he had something wrong with him, and after his time off is now back hitting his stride.

Nevermind how slow his Candian wins were - the horses he beat in those races stink.

Exactly. We'll see. Right now I'm going with, "This was your two minutes of fame, kid, enjoy"

Sports Illustrated put Mine That Bird's Derby victory on the cover this week. I think this is the first time since Smarty Jones that horse racing has been the cover sport. And a lot of my non-racing fan friends have been talking about it- hell, the bartender at the wine bar I was at last night mentioned the $9500 price tag thing (not exactly accurate, but he knew it). For whatever reason, Mine That Bird has people aware racing is going on and seeing it in a positive light. That's a good thing, any way you look at it.
