I love to play the Birdstone runners in the mud,they really move up on the wet stuff.
Of course I wasn't smart enough to even consider MTB.

I'd say that's a good go to mud line:
Balada skated by 7 today @ GP in the 4th..........$43.20.
In the 8th @ CD Benner Island was bet down from 10-1 to 3-1........she was really game,$8.80.

You mean Birdsong runners, but I'm with you there as I had Birdstone that Derby Day tossing MTB.

Sorry got my years and horses mixed up.

But I always consider Birdsong progeny in the mud, which included Birdstone in 2004.

I think you mean Storm Bird, the BM sire of Birdstone.

Yeah as far as I can tell, there's never been a US sire named Birdsong, just some fillies and mares here. There's a 4yo colt currently racing named Bird Song by Unbridled's Song out of Bird Town who won the Fred Hooper (G3), but that's it. I'm sure he'll go to stud eventually.

Used to love when Jerry played the Bird Song to end the first set with good old Grateful Dead Band
