Oh well, I did tell folks I knew that if all we do is talk about how Mine That Bird has no chance he's going to win on Murphy's Law alone. I've never found being so stunned by a win that turns out to also be so hilarious. Calvin Borel's just a marvelously crazy cajun and that cheering after the race was so contagious. The longest margin of victory since Assault--serves us all right.

Felony violation of Murphy's Law. Happy for Birdstone's people, great sign for his sire future I'm hoping, and since MTB is a gelding who knows, he might be around awhile.
