What the Nation is saying about Mine That Bird...

How does Game On Dude stack up against America's greatest geldings of recent years...Read More

  • ILuvTurfRacing · Before I say what I'm about to say, I'd like it noted for the record that I'm a huge fan of Game on Dude, and admire this horse a ton!! That said, I'm not sure the word "Great" actually applies to Game on Dude? I think he probably has as much heart and pure desire to win as any gelding racing in America, or any horse period for that matter. But 6-wins, 4-places, and 1-show in 15 lifetime starts is a long way from being labeled "Great" in my view. TJMO. · 2 days ago ·

Yeah i agree you should put him in some allowance races hes a gelding so he can't sire any foals. He could have another year in him.
Nineteen up, nineteen down. Zenyatta has done it all. Her quest for a pair of perfect 10s comes in a few weeks at Churchill Downs with the world watching in the Breeders' Cup Classic. But there is an undeniable question standing in her way to 20 consecutive victories -- the competition. Even the mos...Read More

Breeding racehorses can appear deceptively simple at times. Either it works, or it doesn’t. Simple, sort of. Many a mare gets nice foals, but they are all “woulda, coulda, shoulda” types who have talent, promise, and phhht! Nothing quite comes to fruition. On the other hand, Mining My Own (an…Read More
What would it be like to spend six weeks shadowing: the President and CEO of a major thoroughbred racetrack, a trainer of five Triple Crown races, a horse that was in the midst of one of the greatest campaigns in recent history, and a jockey who was the darling of the media?Read More
  • zatt · Thanks for the low-down on this one, Matt ... I recently read it myself and thorougly enjoyed. O'Meara paints a vivid and colorful picture of everything that went down at the Spa in 2009, including of course Rachel raising the rafters! · 167 days ago ·

A hot topic over the last year is the use of hyperbaric chambers in horse racing. Most of the chatter we hear in the sport publicly, talks about how they help heal maladies, like a sore tendon or a hairline, quicker than conventional. In the backstretch it's different - a lot of people are talking a...Read More
Every year race fans debate the running styles of the Belmont Stakes contestants. Which manner - front runner, pace presser, mid-pack runner or come from behind stalker - is the most favorable for winning the grueling 1 ½ mile Test of Champions? We researched that question and reviewed the last twen...Read More
It happens every single year, people see a hot new closer running on late to just barely miss, and then they go hog wild over him. For this year’s Derby, that horse’s name would be Nehro.Read More

  • blooy · psh nehor was a tough bastard, this was the extra room he needed, and the jockey really blew it, bad timing. you know he comes from out of the clouds not on turn, not sure what happend there. we saw it all the time down the strech near miss by nehro, then he makes the move on the turn, wait man, you fly on the strech. had they went on the strech, like animal kindom , could have been closer. but thats horse racing, guess a spoiler for the belmont? those closers all on timing, still congrats to him . · 266 days ago ·

Now that The Derby has come and gone, it’s time to turn our attention to the often overlooked “middle child” of the Triple Crown series. And no doubt you have already heard much talk about how speed is even more valuable at Pimlico Race Course with the tight turns and shorter distance. Many of these...Read More

  • DeadHeat · IMO Animal Kingdom is so versitile that it may not matter what the pace is like. He has been on the lead, stalking, mid pack and dead closer and has always performed well. DI may be running well at the end if he does not drop too far back. Astrology, IMO will be sitting fourth or fifth and should have a shot to. Based on this I would not play Flash, Shackle or DC. · 268 days ago ·

  • Tremendous Machine · Dialed In's your horse here. DI still managed to nip Shack in the Florida Derby despite speed holding up all day and Shack having a great trip. Shack went on to take the lead and beat all but 3 horses in Louisville, so you know his speed is legit and he will be pushing the pace. The half will fall in 46 and change and DI will be roaring up the stretch, only this time DI will not have to navigate through such a huge field. DI's last half mile in the KD was 47 flat, which was considerably faster than Zenyatta at the same treack in the BC classic, only the KD track that day was rated as much faster which is why the Beyer and other speed figures were slower for the KD. Bottom line, DI will benefit from a faster pace and a smaller field and will be coming fast. He may not win, but he will certainly hit the board and won't miss by much if he doesn't win. · 268 days ago ·

I used to think that horseracing was nothing more than a substitute for real gambling. I would watch but only enjoy it if I had cash riding on it. My family owned racehorses but that was long before I was in the picture so I was never bit by the racetrack bug until the summer of 2009. I can remember...Read More

  • luvzenyatta · Me too Angela, I have been around the tracks and horses all my life. I just wanted to see them and always had to bet on someone because everyone else was. I have and do read everything I can find about them..past greats, claimers, foals...all of them. But I never had that "special" feeling until I met Zenyatta. All of a sudden I felt like I was breathing the sport. She truly changed my life too. I feel about Z the way you feel about RA. It's the best feeling in the world and I had never had it until Z. Thanks for a great article, hope to see many more:) · 348 days ago ·

Please, return the Mine that Bird T.T
Mine That Bird is a fantastic horse!!!<3
I would love to see him race again. Saw the pic of him on his web page in the sand with a big ball, pretty pathetic. At least put him where he can be in a paddock with grass under hooves.
  • dreamingofanna · I agree. Hes a gelding for christ sakes, run him in allowance races in New Mexico. I'm definately sure that there are hundreds of Birdie fans down there. · 362 days ago ·
