Mine That Bird, the superstar gelding who lost two races at Sunland Park before taking the Kentucky Derby (and coming closest to defeating Rachel Alexandra this year). Fabulous Strike, the six-year-old Philly-bred horse out of Penn National considered among the ...

horses on the grounds, going well over 1000 pounds, and he was even bigger, maybe 1300 pounds, when Bernstein was sprinting him. His last victory on dirt was in the six-furlong Bing Crosby Handicap at Del Mar 6 1/2 months ago. Desormeaux was aboard The Wicked North for the first time since he successfully rode the horse at the end of 1992. "I thought my chances were slim after my horse got so worked up before the race," Desormeaux said Sunday. "He was absolutely drenched (with sweat). But ...
