![]() Mine that Bird ran an ok race in the Kentucky Derby. Those two will be turding around the back of the pack in this one and make absolutely no impact whatsoever.

Why not run? He's obviously doing well. We can't have it both ways... By that I mean we criticize when connections don't run their horse but simultaneously criticize when they DO run them. You run them when they're 'doing good'..

![]() I'm surprised by the response Coach. Being one turn, I don't think he is impossible as he is a nice horse, just been mismanaged

![]() I'll probably be wrong but tossing most of the horses on the Keeneland main is my strategy.

![]() Everybody's all over Crown of Thorns' nuts for the Dirt MIle and he hasn't won a race since Bush was in office. Aikenite fits just fine, his one-turn races have been A-OK since the Holy Bull.

![]() Funny, I said that Aikenite was best making a late run on one turn in the spring and got argued with....

![]() It isn't a bad strategy, I think horses that have a bad line off racing there might be decent plays off prior form, the track is like no other right now.

![]() Mike Smith will ride 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in the Nov. 6 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs, trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Wednesday morning.
Lukas said that if the Dirt Mile attracts more than the capacity 14 entrants and Mine That Bird is not selected for the field, he could run in the $100,000 Ack Ack at 1 1/16 miles on the Nov. 5 undercard. Lukas said he also plans to run Tidal Pool in the Nov. 5 Filly & Mare Sprint and Hamazing Destiny in the Nov. 6 Sprint. Smith will ride Tidal Pool, and Terry Thompson will be on Hamazing Destiny. http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...TS08/310200083 |
