Mike Smith will be back up on Mine That Bird for the next two scheduled races on his way to the Breeders’ Cup – - on August 1 in the West Virginia Derby, and on August 29 in the Shadwell Travers Stakes at Saratoga. Read the Thoroughbred Times article about the news by Mike Curry here, and coverage of the same story by Globe Sports here.
I love the ‘Mine That Bird’ story and his great trainer, Chip Woolley.
