Mine That Bird - 2009 Kentucky Derby + Post Race
Jockey Calvin Borel won the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) May 1 on heavy favorite Rachel Alexandra, and the following day in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), he scored a huge upset on Mine That Bird. “I did a Street Sense ride,” Borel said, referring to his winning ride aboard Street Sense in the 2007 Derby. Borel is known for bringing horses up the rail and is affectionately called “Calvin Bo-Rail.” In the 19-horse field, only one horse was longer odds than the 50-1 price on Mine That Bird. That was the 55-1 odds on Atomic Rain. Borel was even more demonstrative than when he won on Street Sense. He was crying, screaming, and pumping his fist in the air as he brought the son of Birdstone back to the winners circle. After he squirted through on the rail in the stretch, Mine That Bird drew off under Borel to win by 6 ¾ lengths. Pioneerof the Nile was second, Musket Man, and Papa Clem finished fourth. The final time was 2:02.66. Mine That Bird paid 3.20, , and .80. Pioneerof the Nile returned .40 and .40, and Musket Man paid to show. Pioneerof the Nile beat Musket Man by a nose, while Musket Man was a head in front of Papa Clem.

Love how Calvin Borel starts celebrating at 2:03…”BRING IT PUNKS!!” HAHA!
January 2nd, 2010 at 9:59 pm
people please. Tom Durkin is one of the best, as with Dave Johnson and was with Chick Anderson.

You two guys need to shut up and quit sissy fighting on the comment board of YOUTUBE !!! It makes you both look bad plus it makes it hard for people to make good and real comments about the videos we are watching.

2010 BC Classic at Churchill,Hmmmm? I still like MTB! He loves that track!
February 17th, 2010 at 12:13 am
Durkin is the greatest of all time. It’s the first big race call I have ever seen him miss a horse. Lets calm down, everyone makes a mistake at some point.
February 18th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
I agree datzill7,Durkin makes Denman sound like he is on sleeping pills or something! The other one I like is the guy who calls the races at Arlington and the Fairgrounds in New Orleans,can’t remember his name though!

A Great finish to a terrible call..Man was Durkin lost or what..
March 1st, 2010 at 12:23 am

March 12th, 2010 at 12:21 am

@ernie1gotx
Durkin was totally lost!!! I still laugh histerically when I watch it. MTB was had been two lengths ahead for 3 seconds before he announced that MTB as “coming on through” . Hilarious!!!

You would have to think that this years kentucky derby is going to have another long shot upset. its a sloppy track and anything can happen.

What a wonderful race, just a shame the commentary was appalling. Spotted mind the bird very late and failed to call the horses across the line - one of the few races in the world where punters want to know the order. Great shame. Australian racecallers are by far the best, the very reason why here in Britain most of them are from Down Under. Great race though.

Yeh, I think if I was the announcer I would be highly curious as to who the heck that was coming up on the inside like a bullet. Lousy race calling…fabulous race!
May 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 pm
