Secretariat was a favorite. Imo, much greater than the 73 Derby win by Secretariat, because MineThatBird on a wet track, at 50@1, came with a much less pedigreed jockey, from at least 10 lengths behind the field at the first turn, and blew the Derby field away by more than 10 lengths. The greatest long shot come from behind win in history.

when i watch this, i get similar goosebumps to Secretariat. What's crazy about this, is that I bet on Mine That Bird, not knowing ANYTHING about him. I walked into a casino (Reno, Nevada) and noticed that the Kentucky Derby was about to start. I picked Mine That Bird due to my dad being an avid gold-miner, and my mama loving birds. I had $20 on me, but only bet $9. That $9 paid me over $400 if I remember right. It was funny, because the guy at the cash window looked amazed when I cashed it in.

I've seen the interview. Let's see you memorize 20 horses and keep them all in your head and give a running commentary on every one of them for 2 minutes straight. Durkin said that every year he would have anxiety for a week before the race and wouldn't sleep because the task was so nerve-wracking. After this race he quit calling the Derby; he said the pressure was too much. HUGE pressure.

In a "50 to 1" movie scene, an elegant gentleman during the pre 135th. Kentucky Derby party says "...this year we have horses from France, England, Ireland, Dubai...¡and even from New Mexico!" (laughs) You know who opened that door? Venezuelans Gustavo Avila (jockey) Juan Arias (trainer) and Juan Quintero (groom) when in 1971, they traveled from Caracas to Louisville to win, against all odds, 97th. Kentucky Derby with Canonero II, a horse born in United States and bred in Venezuela. Canonero's owner Pedro Baptista (R.I.P.) couldn't travel due to financial problems. Their performance was very similar to Mine That Bird's one. Regards from a fifty six year-old venezuelan citizen who emigrated to Chile searching a better way of life. Merry Christmas and Happy 2019 Year ☺

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.
