2009 Kentucky Derby – Mine That Bird (Calvin Borel)
50-1 Mine That Bird beats out favorite Pioneer of the Nile to win the 135th Kentucky Derby. Calvin Borel’s second win in the last three Derbs.
hes trully the best race horse!
The National and the Derby are2 completely different race types. You can’t compare them.
yea maybe in terms of quality it is but in terms of a spectacle the national is the best race to watch and thats a fact! more ppl watch it than any other race and more ppl bet in it than any other race
Sorry if Came across a little… gruff. But! Comparing the kentucky derby (which btw has been won by many of the greatest horses that ever had 4 legs) with the national is like comparing a smash-up derby with formula 1. I don’t begrudge anyone having an opinion, but it is clear from what you have said that you know nothing about racing.
why do i not have a clue? am i not allowed my opinion? and what makes it better?
God, I hope so.
He hates you too!!
yep your rubbish.
Clearly don’t have a clue what your talking about… Thanks for the interest though…
doesnt come close to the national, this race is pretty rubbish
I love how Pioneerof the nile he was going so so so easy his strides nice and long and easy had the perfect trip. To bad he retired he would have been good in the BC classic him and MTB are my faves 3 yo males
Okay I will then; Who, besides you, gives a flying leap?
go to hell then
MTB needs another race like this. he needs some pace in a race and some horses in a race thats why i think he lost the belmont, the field wasnt small but he did move a little early. And the preakness he had to much trouble comeing into the strecth. I really like PON he was super in this race and in the preakness got bubmed
i hope he doesnt end up like Brother Derkek the derby fave then barley won a race after. I like Musket man though i hope he wins a couple down the road….maybe the haskel.
Cal Ripken Jr. placed a bet on Mine That Bird.
He came outa nowhere!!!
mine that bird proved that he was no fluke by coming 2nd in the preakness best horse won om the day its a shame he is a gelding
no matter what anybody says, on this day, mine that bird ran a huge race. every horse was in the same boat he was and he ran the best race.
and whoever thinks durkin is a big race caller, please, just shut up. It’s hard to memorize 20 horses and call them and point out what’s going on…..plus, he’s a veteran and is one of the best racecallers in horse racing. u people should try it
mine that bird is super fast!!!wow what a spectacular race
Mine that Bird wasn’t a great horse. And I hate Cal “Bo-rail”!
how fast are the races ran over there that seemed fairly slow and that commentator sucked
So, what is the Calipari Curse?
Missed free throws.
When the game is on the line, when the heat is turned up, you can count on any team Calipari is coaching to miss free throws.
Beware the missed free throws…
It’s great when someone can make a bold statement like that and then turn out to be right. But no, MTB finished a close second in the Preakness and you’ve done nothing but humiliate yourself.
I made $1750 off of mine that bird
have you heard…FILLY’s the word. told ya’ll so…..no triple crown way to go connections
