Wondering if Mine That Byrd will have enough race track to catch Rachael in the Preakness, I'm thinking so.

I'm going to root for General Quarters again but maybe it will be Mine That Bird...on May 15, 2009, 3:37 pm

I'd absolutely LOVE for Rachel Alexandra to beat all the boys. But, it'd be nice to see Mine That Bird again especially if he does as well as the Derby, what a fabulous ride.on May 14, 2009, 4:59 pm

My boy Pioneerof the Nile is my pick, but it is going to be a tough race if Mine That Bird runs his race again, and the filly Rachel Alexandra is a huge threat.on May 13, 2009, 11:39 pm
