50-1 longshot, Mine That Bird, with jockey Calvin Borel up won yesterdays Kentucky Derby in dramatic fashion, thrilling audiences. He beat the second place horse, Pioneer of the Nile by 6 1/4 lengths.
I am a horse freak. I've been riding and taking lessons since the age of three and I've had my own horse since the age of eleven. I've done almost everything with horses from galloping and ponying racehorses at local tracks to competing on my own horses in almost every event possible (jumping, dressage, showmanship, western, english, trail, etc.). Aside from horses, I like to write and learn about new people and events (especially horse-related events) and I love being outside. I'm in my first year of college and my first term majoring in Journalism. Once I finish at LBCC, I plan on going to The University of Colorado at Boulder to finish my college career.
What a great race! I love when the real story is nothing like all the hours and hours of pre-race hype...
