Mine That Bird

Yeah, um...a WHAT? is SOO appropriate right now! Mine That Bird, with 50-1 odds WINS the Derby! Instead of flying to Kentucky like all the other million dollar horses, Mine That Bird rode in his horse trailer for about 21 hours during the trip from his home in New Mexico. His owners Mark Allen and Dr. Leonard Blach bought MINE THAT BIRD for $9500! He was trained by Chip Woolley and wridden by the famously "energized"(for lack of better terms) Calvin Borel. Wow...this was the second largest upset in the history of the Kentucky Derby.
Luckily my 1st choice pick PIONEER OF THE NILE came in 2nd!
