2009 Kentucky Derby: Mine That Bird
This is the 135th run of the Kentucky Derby in Lexington, Kentucky. Mine That Bird with the odds of 50-1 went from last place to first place with jockey Calvin Borel leading him to the front. Mine That Bird is from New Mexico where his trainer drove 21 hours with a shattered ankle to come and have his colt race. Mine That Bird was bought for 00, he’s a gelding, and came to the race in a pickup truck and trailer and he raced against horses worth millions! Good for him! Congratulations to Mine That Bird, jockey Calvin Borel, trainer Bennie Woolley Jr., and co-owners Mark Allen and Leonard Blach! Credit to NBC and kentuckyderby.

I am SOOOOO HAPPY HE WON! It just proves that you don’t have to be a millionaire to be winner. I was rooting for Dunkirk as well, but Mine That Bird was my first pick. Also, did you guys see General Quarters story? That was awespiring.
Annywwayss, I think that they should make a breyer for Mine That BIrd.
