Analysis: The aptly named Gorgeous Bird was last seen racing in a “loaded” allowance race at Gulfstream Park, but in the end he emerged as clearly the best horse of that field as he dusted his competition by several lengths. Take one look at this guy and you know he’s got a chance to be special. Here is the best news yet…this long striding, huge beast of a horse has not even gotten the opportunity to go around two turns yet. When he finally does he could rise way up the list.
