Mine That Bird aiming for WV Derby!

WOW. For the first time in my horse-racing-loving life, I’ll get to (God willing) see a current Derby champ racing, live, right in front of my own eyeballs! Mine That Bird is going to the West Virginia Derby (Gr. II)! What a thrill! Can you believe it?

Of course, with the Derby winner showing up, that makes me wonder who else might tag along. Certainly not Rachel Alexandra (that would surprise me), but perhaps some of the other Derby contenders. Last year’s race, with the Jackson’s Ready Set, was terrif.

But this will be awesome. I am so excited! Who wants to come with?
