Marylou Whitney visits the Birds
Saratoga socialite Marylou Whitney seemed like a proud parent Thursday morning at the stakes barn as she visited Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird. Both are sons of the stallion Birdstone, whom Whitney campaigned with great success in 2004. At 2, Birdstone won the Champagne and at 3 he won the Belmont Stakes and Travers.
Both Mine That Bird and Summer Bird are pointing to the $1 million Travers on Aug. 29.
"They look wonderful, the size of Summer Bird - wow! - he's a big horse," Whitney said.
Whitney said that Mine That Bird more resembles Birdstone than Summer Bird.
Whitney still retains full ownership of Birdstone, who stands at Gainesway Farm in Kentucky.
