Stevens was aboard the son of Super Saver for his seven-furlong work Dec. 15. "One-turn mile races and one-turn seven-furlong races are the toughest races to win," Stevens said. "You have to have speed and stamina. He has got a big, long stride on him—he doesn't move like a sprinter."

Old Friends Birdstone 2001 b H Grindstone – Dear Birdie (Storm Bird) 2004 Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone raced as a homebred for Marylou Whitney Stables. Trained by Nick Zito, he won his first start with Edgar Prado riding and capped off a lightly raced two year old campaign with a victory in the Champagne Stakes (G1) with Jerry Bailey up. At three he competed in the 2004 Kentucky Derby but skipped the Preakness. On Belmont day he and Edgar Prado settled in toward the back, sat chilly while Derby and Preakness took the lead, then just when it looked like Smarty might win the Triple Crown, Birdstone came flying in the final stretch to win the Belmont. That summer he accomplished a similar feat in a rainy 2004 Travers Stakes (G1). He retired with five wins in nine starts and $1,575,600 earnings. At stud at Gainesway Farm, Birdstone sired 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, 2009 Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird, 2015 Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) winner Noble Bird and other stakes winners. He retired to Old Friends in August 2020. Old Friends is grateful to John Hendrickson for entrusting us with the care of superlative racehorse and sire of classic winners, Birdstone.

We’ve always thought he was a Grade 1 kind of horse.” Boisterous, who closed out his 5-year-old campaign with back-to-back victories in the Grade 3 Knickerbocker at Belmont and the Grade 2 Red Smith Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack, finished second in the Grade 3 Ben Ali over the synthetic surface at Keeneland Race Course in his first start of 2013. “His race in Lexington on the Polytrack was great,” said McGaughey. “There was no pace, and we were four or five lengths back turning for home and got beat a length.
