Summer Bird Named 3yo Champ

One morning the week of the Kentucky Derby, trainer Tim Ice was asked if he thought the race might be a little ambitious for Summer Bird, who at that point had raced just three times.

OK... first credit goes out to Tim Ice for a great training job with Summer Bird, and to the owners as the Jayaraman's have been in racing for a long time so it is nice to see them get a big win.

However, the idea that Summer Bird is now going for the Eclipse Award is a bit of a joke. He won the Belmont with a late run at a mile and a half against a depleted field. This guy would be lucky to win either the Haskell or the Travers, much less the BC.

Once he gets pounded by Musket Man and others in the Haskell... maybe they will figure it's best to stay home in the Super Derby!

Borel moved too soon and went too wide on Mine That Bird. Calvin Boo-rail... couldn't find the rail.

It was ironic that Desormeaux, who learned his lesson moving too soon on Real Quiet and got beat by Victory Gallop by a nose 11 years ago... showed the patience to get the win on Summer Bird, while Borel learned that same lesson of moving too soon today.
