Mine That Bird didn't need to be doped for the Derby. He had the mud and Calvin Bo-Rail at Churchill. Super Saver had the same this year and what has HE done since? ... That'd be nothing.
If MTB were doped for the Derby, then he must have been for the Preakness, too (close second to Rachel Alexandra) and at Belmont, where but for a bad ride he might have been better than third. And if you can get away with doping him three times without getting caught, why stop?
Was Mine That Bird drugged when he won the Kentucky Derby? Maybe, but I think handicappers make a huge mistake when they actively look for larceny before first looking for weaknesses in their own analysis, especially in big races like the Derby. I didn't like Mine That Bird on that particular first Saturday in May either, but I tried to learn from my mistakes — and I think I did.
Pari-mutuel gambling is, by its very nature, a competitive endeavor and, given that I bet and provide free selections, it doesn't really make a lot of sense for me to explain how I COMPUTE my pace figures. This video was simply an attempt to show how I implement them when I handicap (remember, this video was released BEFORE the El Encino was run).
COMMENT COULD BE TRUE, HE RAN LIKE IT AND THERE ARE DRUGS THAT ARE UNDEDECTABLE== WHERE THER IS MONEY--- THERE IS LARCENY THIS GUY IS SPEAKING IN JARGON, WITHOUT EXPLAINING HIS METHOD

The problem with pace handicapping is that they don't have finish lines at the split poles.

I think Mine That Bird was doped for the first time the day of the Derby. He hasn't performed since.
