If it makes you feel any better... here’s the rundown on Mine That Bird from a handicapper sheet last year! :
Mine That Bird was the champion juvenile colt in Canada last year, but his Dosage index of 5.40 prevented him from earning Dual Qualifier status. He scored the least number of points in this year’s analysis. Along with the Beyer knock, he lacks a stakes win this year, does not have enough prep races (2 races at Sunland Park), is coming off a 5 week layoff, has a top Beyer of just 81, the slowest by far in the field, and he runs close to the pace. His few positives include stakes wins last year (all three at Woodbine), 8 lifetime starts, and a sharp prep race, having finished 3 1/4 lengths back in the Sunland Derby.
Actually I won money on Mine That Bird since I had placed on bet using the “all other horses” button in the futures bet. Didn’t make the amount of money I would have if I had bed the horse Derby day. But and ticket I can cash is a good one.
