yeah, but the derby is the only triple crown race where a jockey can pull that move. if this horse were to get out last in the preakness and try that last up the rail deal on a fast pimlico track, hes got no shot. and in the belmont it happens like every ten years, if that and the closer usually comes wide off the turn there. calvin does well at CD but like someone said at the other tracks hes just another jock. face it,that horse may never get a better set-up, no matter who rides him. on form, the derby may be a total toss race. we will soon find out.

Afterall - he might just be the single best horse Bennie L Woolley Jr. has ever trained!

fat - look at how he closed in the KY Derby , just like Secretariat

I hope that these horse don't get ruined like the one's that ran against Big Red in the TC

remember Sham in the Belmont , he was like a little kid out there running against Big Red , if Mike Smith doesn't botch this next Sat , i think we could get a TC winner this year fat

marty marty marty marty marty marty marty!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm sorry... I'm going to give Mine That Bird the benefit of the doubt as to being a good horse, and let him prove me right or wrong.

But please dont compare him to secretariat... try not to even let that thought pop up in your head... it will only make things worse!!
