Does Mine That Bird Win Again?

[boswd]

we don't know the second season has just started, have no clue what the future holds.

I think FC had a nice solid career but it was spotty. And if I had a nickel for everytime someone on this board and others put a fork in him and such I'd be rich.

FC after the TC races never put together that Champion like string of winning Major GI's after GI's after GI's ala a Cigar, Invasor etc. He would lose quite a few, then all of a sudden grab a nice win, lose a few more and then grab a win.

What I'm trying to say with MTB is he seems to have that air about him that Funny Cide had. Everyone is ready to write off MTB and put a fork in him.
All I'm trying to say is it is way too early for that. Let's see how he performs in the Traver's and go from there.

Invasor was a nice horse who had a nice career. You said "string of consecutive grade 1's" and he won THREE in a row. Nice, but nothing in the context of history and some of the great horses that put together multi year runs. Invasor lasted at the top less than ONE YEAR. Heck it was like 9 months.

his Pim, Sub, Whit, BCC, Dubai, Donn were all in a row, he went from Spring of 06 all the way to late Winter of 07 without a loss and raced in the biggest races. Those are 6 straight wins. no losses in between etc. 6 straight wins
