08/26/2009 - Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird will not start in Saturday's 140th Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. The gelding's owners and trainer announced Wednesday morning that the three-year- old will skip the $1 million race to give him more time to recover from recent throat surgery.
"We've decided to err on the side of caution and pass this race up and aim down the road to the Breeders' Cup," trainer Chip Woolley said. "There's one little spot underneath the epiglottis pushing up just a tiny bit and after studying and looking at it, we're going to hold off and make sure the horse is okay and not take any chances with the rest of his career.
"It's probably not a problem, but we don't feel comfortable taking a chance. It probably would have no bearing on the race, but we don't want to do anything that might jeopardize his future."
Mine That Bird had throat surgery last Tuesday for an entrapped epiglottis. Dr. Patricia Hogan performed the surgery at the Ruffian Equine Medical Center located across the street from Belmont Park. The Derby champ had his first workout after the procedure yesterday.
Owned by Dr. Leonard Blach and Mark Allen, Mine That Bird is scheduled to lead the post parade for the $2 million All America Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico on Labor Day and will not run in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Philadelphia Park that day.
"It was a hard decision," said Dr. Blach. "(The endoscopic examination Wednesday) showed a small spot on the left lateral quarter of the epiglottis. It's healed up, it's not raw, there's no ulcer on there at all it's just kind of an enlargement on the left side. Essentially it's going to be normal and it's probably going to be there for a while. Having surgery just eight days ago, we probably don't want to take a risk."
Mine That Bird was a 50-1 longshot when he won the Kentucky Derby. Two weeks later he was second in the Preakness Stakes to the filly Rachel Alexandra and was third to Summer Bird in the Belmont Stakes.
Voted the 2008 Canadian champion two-year-old, he has earned $1,892,200 with one win in six starts in 2009.
With the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic this year's ultimate goal, Mine That Bird's next start is yet to be decided. Woolley and the owners said they would consider the $500,000 Goodwood Stakes for older horses at Santa Anita on Saturday, October 10.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
