Default How do you think Mine That Bird will do on Saturday?
Should you forgive his last place finish in his only start at Santa Anita?

I think he finishes in the back half of the pack, these are better horses than he has been facing.

Seconds after he wins the Goodwood by double digits, someone will start a thread speculating about his chances for HOY. I'm saving the MTB for 3yo champ thread until after he wins the Clark.

Chip Woolley says MTB has an advantage over Rachel from seven to twelve furlongs.

With the notable exception of 9.5f, but who's really keeping track anyway.

Yeah, he's just awful. Champion 2YO in Canada; Derby winner; Preakness runner-up to Rachel; and third in the Belmont to Travers-JCGC winner after a premature move by an overconfident jock.

I think he SUCKS. Maybe he's just over the top. Is that a problem?

Nothing like hedging your bets. Do you declare victory if he runs well or up the track ?

For those of you that bet on that crap surface; is there anything to suggest that Gitano Hernando is any worse than Muhannak was? and is there anything to suggest the rest of the synthetic slowpokes in this race are any slower than the synthetic slowpokes in the Marathon last year? Seems like anytime you have a crappy Euro that might go off at long odds on the fake tires you have to bet it.
