Re: Birdstone
Not too shabby indeed. The older winner was on a 4-race winning streak, his last a graded score and likely will race next in the BC Mile. Bird's tentative schedule is the Twilight (Gr2) and, if all goes well, the Hollywood Derby (Gr1).

The pedigree of his owner is just as fascinating. Her father was general manager of Monmouth where the Hask...
