Birdstone was talented. He completed a triple that was either done by only a couple of horses or not very many. Sure, he may not have been as good as the top horses that year like Smarty or Zapper, but he was still good. And, he had some stamina this breed needs.

True, but he was not very fast.

That's one of the things that separates the greats from the non greats, lol. And I have to admit, I LOVED his Travers, although more because of the weather.

Well I am a huge fan of Jazil but maybe I shouldn't have grouped Birdstone with him. Birdstone was quite the animal. He had to be to run down Smarty Jones.
