KENTUCKY DERBY 2009 - MINE THAT BIRD.flv

- 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 Pioneerof the Nile in the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The victory capped off a memorable weekend for Borel and trainer Chip Woolley.
Amazing how the announcer didn't even say the horse's name until he was steps from the finish line. Sadly, it was the last race that Mind That bird won.... still, just an amazing feat. A $9,500 "claimer" wins the Kentucky Derby. Love the emotion.... and really appreciate Gary Steven's comments.
Check out when Borel makes his move. It was soo fast, it's deceptively hard to even see it on actual race footage, regardless of angle. I consider it to be one of the finest 3 seconds in ALL of horse racing, EVER.
WHEN I NEED A SMILE....THIS IS MY GO TO VIDEO. GOD THANK YOU FOR CALVIN!
Amen , sister ❤ ✝️ ❤
I know many feel this was a “terrible racing call” but there is a thrill in the fact that he completely snuck his way up to that lead in the final stretch. The fact that he was up by several lengths before he was even noticed gave me chills. Considering how far back he was at the start made that big spread at the end just extra amazing.
If you think about the 20,000 to 30,000 colts born each year around the world, only 20 three year olds are elected to go the the Derby. Bird was elected based on his wins in Canada as a 2 year old. Who cares if he only won one race, it's a great honor just to be elected to the big dance and he won it. He got 2nd in the Preakness and 3rd in the Belmont, he was the only horse to win money in all three races. I lived in Roswell when he won this race. we were so, so proud.
When the gates opened, nobody could imagine two minutes later, Mine That Bird would become the second-biggest upset ($ 102,30) in Kentucky Derby history behind Donerail in 1913 ($ 184,90). If Mine That Bird was a 50-1 choice, Donerail was 91-1! Greetings from Venezuela.
He was definitely legitimate. Tried very hard in all 3 races.
Horses aren't "elected" to enter the KD. They earn points
It must have been really weird to read this pedantic comment 8 years after you forget an 's.'
I watch this video at least a couple of times a year. It always brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful horse! What a wonderful jockey! What a spectacular ride!! Thank you for it all!!
Calvin Bore & Mine That Bird simply made history 50 to 1. I am glad they made the movie 50 to 1 priceless...
It's a fun movie!
I still remember this race as if it was yesterday. I remember my parents telling me that we were going to Kentucky to see the Derby and Oaks that year. The day Rachel Alexandra won the Oaks with Calvin riding her-there was talk basically everywhere I went saying "Rachel is going to demolish this field" which she did. And then, Derby day. Everywhere I went people kept saying Zayat's horse Pioneerof The Nile "is going to win this Derby easily and go on to win the Triple Crown". My parents even said so. I was thinking of Mine That Bird, how he was getting overlooked and was the underdog. I finally persuaded my parents to place their bet on Bird instead of Pioneer. They thought I was crazy. But they changed their minds when they saw him shoot up to win. I still remember the rain that day and the race and could probably recite the race word by word, even with Durkin's screw up not saying Bird's name. But that didn't matter in the end. Bird proved them all wrong. So what if never won another race after this one. He did the impossible in this race. He proved people wrong.
I find it hard to believe they made just one win bet on the Derby lol.
He was so Emotional after the Race...When he said "My Mommy and Daddy" i had to Hold back my Tears...What a GREAT Ride and Run...The way Mine that Bird Finished and Won you would think that Borel might be making a Big Mistake by taking off This Derby Winner to Ride a "Filly" in The Preakness...But He Knew the GREATNESS of Rachel Alexandra and he basically GUARANTEED she would Win the Preakness...And She Did!!
Little brown horse caught them all off guard. All the blue bloods saying he didn't belong there. Bird showed all of them, just like another little brown horse that came from California back in 1938.
And I love the movie "Seabiscuit"!
Our visit to see The Bird was great! Dr. B let us browse all the memorabilia in his office and we got signed photos and a poster from the movie 50-1. Then went across the road to the Double Eagle Ranch and Bird came over...he enjoyed some mints and carrots. We got to pet him and he licked my hand...such a sweetie! We saw his crooked left leg but he is really a nice looking guy! We sang Happy Birthday to him and gave him a card, which will be added to the memorabilia collection. He is still getting 3-4 fan visits a week!
It was truly an incredible ride by Calvin, but Mine That Bird was also an incredible horse that had great speed and true heart. Loved that they made a movie about this story!
Looked this up because I just watched the movie 50-1. Had to see it to believe it. Never been a fan of horse sports but that was a really impressive race
***** exactly that´s what I wanted to say
František Takács Its pretty special
"WOW"!!! what a finish from 19th to 1st in a flash...!!!! just an awesome run..! God Bless Calvin and Mine that Bird...!!!
I can watch this race over and over and over again, especially what happens after the race.
Mine That Bird was awesome, Calvin is magic.
The first Derby I ever bet on and I had Mine That Bird across the board. Great payoff, but the best payoff was seeing Calvin and how much that meant to him.
The blown call makes this race even better
This should go down as one of the best finishes ever. From last to first into the stretch?!
2:02 3/5 coming from behind through all that slop is damn near unbelievable. Greatest ride I've ever seen.
You're too young to remember Secretariat's move at the Preakness, not to mention winning the Belmont by a city block..
@@bill2953... I am 68 now and was 21 in 1973 when Secretariat ran.. I was at all three races and Big Red was and is the greatest racehorse I ever saw .. His move around the clubhouse turn at the Preakness was breathtaking and the entire Belmont was unbelievable .. Mine That Bird's performance was great but Calvin Borel's "ride" was the greatest "ride" I've ever seen" ... Horses run, jockeys ride ,,,
@@tosius2 Excellent point!
@@bill2953 Although Secretariat is one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all time, he never pulled something as unbelievable as this. Sure, he won the Belmont by 31-lengths, and that's amazing, and the run was beautiful, but he didn't have to weave through horses. And when he did, the results were always rocky. But Mind That Bird had to shimmy through the ENTIRE field of horses. And he still won by at least six to ten lengths. Something like this really gives me chills. Secretariat's was predictable, but still fun.
@@Whimsical_Wraith_16 What...when he had to weave through horses the results were rocky? That's whack! The 73 preakness he was dead last into the 1st turn, made a histrical move around the field to the outside and shot to the lead. And to my recollection Turcott had zero problems maneuvering the big red horse though traffic out of the gate at the Belmont. If you want to complement Mind That Bird I'm with you but don't make shit up to support your opinions. Isn't there enough of that garbage going on these days?
One of the most amazing, inspiring athletic performances by man or beast that I've ever seen. Just incredible.
Really the horse never won another race in 10 more races. He was lucky on DD. he's dog meat now
Will Backbone Oh, really? I've watched this race many times and what I see is a smart jockey on a horse flat out outrunning the entire field. Show me the luck, I can't see it.
Bill K. MTB is another Funny Cide. A 3 yr old gelding who got hot at the right time, but who's talent was just so so. It's really not that unusual for a horse to get good at this time, but not so much else. Still an unbelievable run in this race for sure.
@@WillBackbone Sounds like syzyg10 never heard of "Big Red." (that's his nickname btw)
I love this video
Wish I could go back in time and whisper in Bob Baffert's ear, "Don't worry about your horse losing. Pioneerof the Nile is going to sire a colt they'll name American Pharoah."
Oh and stop drugging your horses
@@carolrondou6161 He's such a dirt bag.
Nobody believed me when I said that Mine That Bird would win the Kentucky Derby. I believe in that little horse!
Just beautiful. Rider and horse have great spirit and communication. Great race.
Dang, they cut some of Calvin's happy freakout after the race. Too bad, because it was hilarious and wonderful. And it was glorious to watch all the backsiders fist-bumping him. This race is pure legend.
He visto esta carrera ciento de veces, y realmente es emocionante... INCREÍBLE!
Saludos desde Chile... 🇨🇱
Visiting Bird Tues. May 3 in the morning! Have his mints for him! 10th Birthday on May 10...so excited to see this boy!!!!
Calvin Borel's voice is incredible. If he ever retires from being a jockey, he should get into voice acting.
That was one of the worst announcements in the history of sports
Mom was really proud to watch that race in 2009, she was so excited jumped off the sofa and just started screaming for no damm reason. She's from Tohajiilee and also one of the owners of one the those horses. I don't know which one. I just like riding em.
won $20,000 on this race. Thank u mine that bird!! (& calvin borel)
+WinslowWins how much did you bet to win that much?
+John Thompson cost me $24.
I bet a $1, four horse, trifecta box. 2,6,8,16.
@@WinslowWins get the fuck out of here
@@sammyholdem2492 no lie, I remember it like it was yesterday ... “I WANT REVENGE’ was the morning line favorite but ended up getting scratched that morning so I replaced that horse w/ “Mine that bird” cause calvin borel was kicking ass all day that day. The other three horses i picked were all for special reasons & have a story of their own behind why I picked them, but it definitely wasn’t luck. Mine that bird winning this race how he did, 🤯. Greatest race ever
You made me big money that fabulous first Saturday in May! Thanks cowboy 😜
People say Durkin blew the call, but I think it really fits the moment. It was utter surprise & you couldn't have picked this horse out in the turn/ stretch unless you were looking specifically at him the whole way...Calvin waves bye to them all in the last furlong...i was sitting with about 6 people watching this race and in the post parade i almost said I'll give each of you $100 bucks if mine that bird wins.
Awesome!! Just watched the movie and then this clip....amazing!!
Calvin Borel did the same thing with Street Sense, but you'll never hear about it because he was the favorite.
MAN I CANT BELIEVE HOW M.T.B MADE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY WERE ALMOST STANDING STILL. I KEEP WATCHING THINKING IT LOOKS FAKE! WHAT A GREAT STORY! I LOVE IT
Looking forward to seeing Calvin Borel playing himself in the movie '50 to 1'. Along with Christian Kane, Skeet Ulrich and William Devane. :D
I'm willing the cut Tom Durkin some slack here. Heck, I've watched the replay five times, and I STILL have problems picking up Mine That Bird as he charges through the pack. Durkin had to try to do it live while tracking 15 or so other horses.
Good comment. I've seen it at least 20 times and I still can't pick up him up at 1:40 until he's already burst through toward the rail. It's like he almost vanishes. Still, Durkin was so late in even realizing that he was in the lead that it's almost comical. But I feel Durkin does redeem himself at the end when he laughs at himself as much as the sheer impossibility of it all when Mine That Bird crosses the line, and when he does that he shares in all of our disbelief.
@@benjamindavidson4033 Yes :-) Surely Dunkin's eyes saw Mine that Bird, but he either didn't see the number, couldn't recognize the horse, or simply couldn't process what he was seeing...I'm not certain what he's watching as he's calling the race. Is he using binoculars to scan the field. Is he watching one or more monitors?... Anyway, it's all quite hilarious.
@@chrismorfas7515 Actually I don't even think he "saw" him at all, i.e. processed what was happening. Because it's like the moment that MTB charges in front, Durkin is all, "And here's Pioneer of the Nile moving on to take the lead!" And that would be accurate if you totally wiped MTB from the video. So i think he was watching Pioneer make a move on the outside and completely missed the rocket-like explosion from MTB on the inside. Don't know about binoculars, I think it's just an example of the brain not processing data that it cannot comprehend.
The only jockey that could have pulled that off is Calvin. Love this moment!!!
50 to 1
Love that movie!!
Good evening. In a "50 to 1" scene, a gentleman during the Pre-Derby party says "This year we have owners from England, Dubai, France, Ireland and even from New Mexico" (laughs) You know who opened that door? Venezuelans Gustavo Avila (jockey), Juan Arias (trainer) and Juan Quintero (groom) when they traveled from Caracas to Louisville in 1971 to win, against all odds, 97th. Kentucky Derby with Canonero II, a horse born in United States and bred in Venezuela. His owner Pedro Baptista (RIP) couldn´t travel due to financial problems. Their performance was very similar to Mine That Bird´s one. Greetings from Venezuela.
The movie, "50 to 1" is great to watch also. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this 'feel good' film.
People always complain about the call. I love it. That little horse weaseled his way through the final turn and caught everyone off guard. Next to Rachel Alexandras Preakness win, my favorite race.
This is still my favourite/racing moment off all time!!!#2019!!!!! Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra also something to remember that season!!!
I remember, when I was about 10 years old, my dad Billy McLeod would ride " Red Wing " his race horse, across or over mountains to Kamloops, to enter Red Wing in the July 1st celebrations.
Still get chills watching this!
Calvin is awesome 🤩 beautiful Birdie 🐎
awesome video! thanks for sharing..
never forget this race
Wow, what a finish!
Long Live Calvin Borel!
Simply beautiful. The man, the horse. Beautiful.
just another kentucky derby winner with the bloodline of Northern Dancer in him more than once the greatest sire of the 20th century
one of tom durkins worst race calls...he really kills the moment
But also one of the greatest calls ever as it adds to the magnitude of the upset. Early on when everyone gets a call he FORGOT Mine That Bird......and trailing them all is Mr. Hot Stuff....uh, uh, uh well behind the rest is Mine That Bird. And in the stretch its PIONEER OF THE NILE, Musket Man, Papa Clem....blah, blah, blah.....and coming through on the inside is uh, uh, uh Mine That Bird. He's three freaking legnths ahead when Durkin figures this out!The worst call ever and the best call ever.
I totally agree abondigas...The total shock is perfectly represented by Mr. Durkin! Watch 50 to 1!!
I don't think he could see Mine That Bird coming through, He's a real small horse and he kind of got lost in the crowd.
@@ericbedenbaugh7085 They weren't expecting anything from Bird, that's why they didn't watch when he made his move.
@@christhompson9486 Very true. They thought he was finished after the first quarter.
Kentucky Derby 2024!
One of the greatest display's jockey skill !
El mejor jinete de la historia por el esfuerzo q se notó en su corazón.. ❤️ se le admira y se respeta. 🤝🤝👏👏
Increible .... 50 a 1 !! Calvin Borel
Now the favorite wins every year.
My favorite race ever, I watch it at least 3 times a year. The race caller had such disdain for Mine That Bird and he ended up with egg on his face as Calvin and the Bird humiliated the field.
la mejor del mundo mine that bird i love
Yea, awesome. Classic Calvin.
The race Bird ran was like a videogame with difficulty set to 'easy-mode'...
We all know it is hard to fly thru those holes along the rail.
Isso ficou Marcado pra história.
🇧🇷💪🏇
Cuando se dio la partida, nadie podía imaginar que dos minutos después, Mine That Bird se convertiría en el segundo mayor batacazo ($ 102,30 a ganador) en la historia del Derby de Kentucky detrás de Donerail en 1913 ($ 184,90 a ganador). Si Mine That Bird fue una opción de 50 a 1 ¡Donerail fue 91 a 1!
Sin palabras para este caballo...
and to think emerging from this race in 2nd was the sire of 2015 triple crown winner.
So good.. sooo good...
What a terrible call by the announcer. The movie, "50 To 1" was great and showed the race exactly this way. Bird was a modern day Sea Biscuit. And what a great story going back to the late 1990"s showing how the impossible never is.
WOW! I thought I seen it all! WoW!
Not even close. He was second in the Preakness, and third in the Belmont. He was a champion 2 year old in Canada. This was not a fluke.
Distance and mudder horse no fluke at all.
Check out the movie 50 to 1.
Clifton Thomas Loved it!!!!!!
@@thetherapist11 It stunk, but that's just my opinion... oh and maybe the fact the 80mill budget only returned 10 mill.
Best Ride ever
ESPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
En una escena de la pelíclua "50 a 1" un elegante caballero en el brindis de la fiesta que se hace la noche antes del Derby dice: "Este año tenemos caballlos de Dubai, Francia, Irlanda, Emirátos Árabes Unidos y ¡hasta de Nuevo México! y suenan risas burlonas ¿Sabe usted quienes abrieron esa puerta? Los venezolanos Gustavo Ávila (jinete) Juan Arias (entrenador) y Juan Quintero (caballerizo) cuando viajaron de Caracas hasta Louisville en 1971 para ganar, contra todo pronóstico, el 97mo. Derby de Kentucky con Cañonero II, caballo nacido en Estados Unidos y criado en Venezuela. El propietario, Pedro Baptista (QEPD) no pudo viajar debido a problemas económicos. Su hazaña se parece mucho a la de Mine That Bird. Saludos desde Venezuela.
SI
Mine that Bird is as calm as a pleasure horse like nothing just happened. 😄
Hidalgo, 50-1 great movies....
Splashtastic!
AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS! TODAY REMEMBER JULY 29 2020!
Calvin Bo Rail!!
Announcer BLOWS the call !! And he tries to hide it.
He wasn't expecting anything from Bird. He wasn't anything close to the favorite. And those announcers all have their favorites so when they get beaten, these guys aren't happy about it either. The guy just made an ass out of himself then tried to cover it.
I love you all!!!
Hermoso
BOREL GENIUS.COME TO US IN ITALY!!!!!
two of my bets for this race were 1 dollar trifecta 16/2,5,7 and 1 dollar superfecta 16/ 2,5,7 the 2 and 7 were huge odds I think. the order came 8-16-2-7. ol Calvin cost me a monster Tri
You guys should also check out the show "Jockeys." Season 1, last episode. where it shows the drama leading up to this Kentucky derby race. It gives me chills still when i watch this remarkable finish by this great horse. Mine that bird, thank u for winning me $20,000. Changed my life.
20,000 ? How much did you bet on him
+PHX Master $24 bet. I put mine that bird in my four horse trifecta box bet.. Since he was 50-1 odds & he won the race, the pay out was ridiculous
WinslowWins
Todo es posible en la vida (everything is possible in life).
If you like mine that bird watch the movie called 50 to 1 which is based on his road to the Derby
Lo mejor que a pasado en la historia hipismo en el mundo
I guess they forgot about the races in Canada. By two years of age the horse won some pretty big races. Supposedly without the use of a shocking device if I may add.
first of all VIVA NUEVO MEXICO
My family has racehorses and that's out life we live in New Mexico and I have winning pictures from the race signed by Calvin I have also touched the bridle used in the derby and I personally know chip
Браво!
Wow!!
my #1most cheished video on the net.... hooves down. hands down.
*2019 ?*
ce cheval est incroyable!!!!
Definitely not the worst horse to win the Derby, it was a great run. The race call however, terrible. How could miss that beautiful inside run and call it so late? Horrible call.
calvin borel the king
Love me some "Borel"
Dead last to first amazing thought he had no way he could make that up . Shows you jockey matters ..
The race caller should be fined a weeks wages ,no mention of Mine that Bird till he was 4 lengths in front -shocking
He virtually done an "Arazi".. I've never seen a horse move like that in a Kentucky Derby..
Невероятно!
Андрей Андреев Восторг!
Damn what a finish
David Cotey was stupid for selling Mine That Bird for 400k after he quailfied him for the derby but also bought him for 9500.. Crazy!! Cant wait for the movie 50-1!
Lol I cant believe they actually made a movie of this horse. He barley won his maiden, he won a couple of 100k stakes races, he won a grade 3 and he somehow won the derby. Ive never seen the movie (nor do I plan to) but how the hell are they gonna make a movie on a horse who got lucky in 1 race he barley qualified for??? Its stupid...
MaDkOrNfLaKeS because only one horse a year wins the derby and it not like he ''barley;' as you say won
MaDkOrNfLaKeS
You cannot believe that they made this into a movie? Well that is why you are obviously not a hollywood producer... they saw the potential of this underdog story as they did with the feel good nature of The Cup. What? You think instead they would look at Big Brown and go 'oh! there is a story to make a movie about! a horse on drugs that wins the Derby! WOW'.
He wasn't "stupid". He isn't Nostradamus, ya know. It just didn't work out well. Obviously a lot of people didn't think Bird would win that race. He didn't look very good coming into the Derby. I stared at his past performances after that race and I couldn't see what anyone could have seen in him. He won.
MaDkOrNfLaKeS i have seen the movie first and i can't believe that, but its true! what a race, what a horse! unbelieveble!! Mine that Bird won in his career 2,27 Million Dollar!!
beste horse bravoo
