Mine That Bird Running in Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile

Mine That Bird, winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby tuned up for runs in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile with workouts on Sunday at Churchill Downs.

Double Eagle Ranch and Buena Serte Equine’s Mine That Bird breezed five furlongs in 1:01.20 for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The move by the 4-year-old Birdstone gelding was the sixth-fastest of 25 at the distance over a fast track. Lukas is pointing Mine That Bird, who has failed to win eight races since his victory at odds of 50-1 in Kentucky Derby 135, toward a possible run in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on Saturday, November 6 2010.

Watch the Kentucky Derby 2009 race where Mind That Bird finished 1st.
