Mine That Bird to be trained by Hall of Fame member
Horseracing Betting Lines
05/19/2010 -
Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has been
named the new conditioner for 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird.
Owners Leonard Blach and Mark Allen announced the decision on Wednesday.
The move to Lukas means that Mine That Bird will no longer be trained by Chip
Woolley who saw the gelding through an historic three-year-old campaign. Mine
That Bird is being vanned from New Mexico to Churchill Downs and will arrive
in Louisville on Thursday.
Mine That Bird won last year's Run for the Roses as a 50-1 longshot with
Calvin Borel riding. Two weeks later in the Preakness the gelding was ridden
by Mike Smith. Borel rode Rachel Alexandra to victory, one-length better than
the Derby champ.
Borel got back on Mine That Bird for the Belmont Stakes and finished third to
Summer Bird.
He was third in the West Virginia Derby on August 1 of last year and then
underwent throat surgery for an entrapped epiglottis. He was held out of the
Travers at Saratoga while he recovered.
Mine That Bird was sixth in the Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita as the 3-1
second choice in the 10 horse field. He closed 2009 with a ninth-place result
behind Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita.
Mine That Bird has five wins in 14 lifetime starts with earnings of nearly
$2.2 million. In 2009 the gelding earned almost $1.9 million with one win in
eight starts.
