Default Birdstone At Gainsway

Nice short video of Birdstone at Gainesway. Like the reference to following in the footsteps of diminutive sires.

Because of people's odd idol worship of Smarty Jones that year, I think Birdstone ended up as one of the mot underrated horses of the decade. His Champagne/Belmont/Travers triple was impressive, and they're right in that video, his maiden effort was very strong.

He's had a breakthrough season this year, what he will do with higher quality mares will be interesting in the future. Stamina...
