Colts that have duked it out on the track and now in the final awards are Mine That Bird, Quality Road and Summer Bird. Two sons of Birdstone are hard to ignore with

Summer Bird upset the upsets. Overlooked and with an early move from Mine That Bird with Dunkirk setting the space. Dunkirk redeemed himself in making a move in a big race.

or the Triple Crown (kinda like Birdstone ended Smarty Jones') and how it'd be better for racing if Mine That Bird had won cause he won't be off to the breeding shed - he'll be around for fans to follow. She didn't deserve to be there. She hadn't beaten anything in the Oaks 'cause the good horses wouldn't run against her.

nue from the one horse stable of General Quarters to the "small time" New Mexico entry of Mine That Bird that rolled to victory in the Kentucky Derby.
Since then many of the Derby starters were found to have legitimate excuses - Friesan Fire grabbed a quarter and had multiple scrapes on his legs. General Quarters had a wad of mud lodged in his nostril from the sloppy track. The winner got a perfect ride compared to many who didn't. Taking nothing away from MTB - he was the best on that day.
