 Chip Wooley Jr. who trains fellow 2009 Breeders Cup Classic contender Mine that Bird is high on this horse and had this to say: ``Everybody better keep their eye on Summer Bird. He's been running through his bridle.'' Even with Summer Bird’s eye popping Beyer speed ratings there are still skeptics that doubt he can fly on the synthetic surface. Summer Bird’s trainer Tim Ice had this to say about his horse running on the fake stuff Saturday: ``He's doing as well over this track as well as he has over the dirt tracks. It's going to be a non-issue come Saturday. It's been a great year, and hopefully we can top it off this Saturday.” Summer Bird will be ridden by jockey Kent Desormeaux who is a top-flight jockey that gets the most out of this talented horse.
