He stumbled in The Rebel on the Oaklawn surface and still finished strong to win.

He was stopped and steadied on the Santa Anita surface and still rallied to catch 3rd.

He had a unanimously accepted horrible trip on sloppy dirt in the Kentucky Derby and still was fighting and closing in the stretch.

He then goes to the Pimlico surface and is tested in a stretch fight and rallies to pull away for the win.

He's 7-1-1 in 10 career starts with a laundry list of 9 G-1's and G-2's on his 10 race resume.


He's 3 years old this month and is already a winner of over $2,000,000.

I think he's pretty good.

Looking at lucky is far more accomplished than good

2010 features a historically bad group of older 'handicap' horses in a millennium that had hardly distinguished itself for older horses. Yet I dont think any of the three year olds we've seen so far will be able to capitalize on that.

What could have been had Summer Bird never been hurt last year.

i agree. someone had to win all that money. they don't cut the purse because the horses don't run fast.

There is something to be said for a horse like LAL, he's willing, keeps to his task and doesnt quit when he gets the lead. The thing to be said about LAL is we wish we had him in our barn.

no doubt but these are classic races therefore we hold the winners to a higher standard
