Mine That Bird won the 135th Kentucky Derby Saturday in a shocking upset on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs.
Mine That Bird went off at 50-1 odds and was the second-biggest underdog ever to win the Derby. It was purchased for just $9,500 and beat a field that had several horses worth millions. With jockey Calvin Borel aboard, Mine That Bird pulled away from the pack on a stunningly fast stretch run, winning by almost seven lengths.
Pioneerof the Nile finished second and Musket Man finished third. The early favorite, I Want Revenge, was scratched from the field Saturday morning with an ankle injury. Friesan Fire went off as the favorite but finished out of the money.
