2009 Belmont Stakes - Summer Bird

[jstate02]

Real talk that was a good damn race i can't take nothing away from {Minie that Bird beacause he came from a nice good distance.That's a race with good power and a damn good bloodline even thowe he didn't have just alittle bit more gas to win He showed everybody that he was a real race horse it was a close race.Mine that Bird also had a joceky riding him that's what's up. From Danger crew Kennels.

Summer Bird only won the Eclipse award for Champion three year old male because, except for Rachel Alexandra, 2009 was a down year for three year olds in my opinion. Look at Mine That Bird, who won the Derby well, and had a game run at the Preakness and Belmont, and then never won another race.

The connections are as inbred as him . This guy takes off to ride another horse and they still let him ride. Calvin must have thought they were running a 1 1/4 this guy is overrated as they come. The ride he gave Mine That Bird was awful and how does he get rewarded he gets to ride Mine That Bird again. The connections are probably drunk like he is. Calvin Borel rot in hell you toothless chump. Ha Ha Ha. Calvin Borel could be the father of another horse. Check out his face!!!

Calvin moved Mine that Bird up WAY to early, since when does he move the horse up BEFORE the backstretch, Summer Bird was the rocket then, he shot up on the outside in a similar style to his half brother. Calvin has become cocky, obsessed with winning rather then sticking with his trusted mount for the Derby, he wanted the Triple Crown although if he had ridden Mine tha Bird in the PReakness, the horse would have won! He would have beat Racheal if the race had been a little longer.
