Fireball Birdie ("Firebird") has been entered in Saturday’s third race at Lone Star Park, a first-level allowance for 3-year-olds which will be contested at one mile on the turf. Given our son of Uncle Mo is a half-sibling to Grade 1 winner and $1.8-million earner Up With the Birds, who did all of his running on turf or synthetic, we feel it's worth not only stretching "Firebird" out in distance but also attempting a surface change.
He will be #2 (of 8 ) and Erik Asmussen will take over riding duties for the first time. Post time is 2:31 PM CT.
