Kentucky Derby 2009 - Mine That Bird

Kentucky Derby 2009 - Mine That Bird

May 2, 2009

I can watch this race over and over again…

In a performance reminiscent of his winning ride aboard Street Sense two years earlier, Calvin Borel hugged the rail throughout then exploded through the stretch to guide Mine That Bird to an improbable 6 3/4-length victory over Pioneer of the Nile in the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The victory capped off a memorable weekend for Borel, who also rode Rachel Alexandra to a one-sided triumph in Friday's Kentucky Oaks. (Source DRF)

  1. I watched it at least half a dozen times, and each time my heart raced, I couldn't take my eyes away!

    BTW, you sure are a prolific writer and blogger, old classmate of mine...
