Includes overhead replay. A 50:1 long-shot "Mine that Bird" comes from last place to win the Kentucky Derby in one of the greatest, most amazing races ever run. At the end of the race he takes the inside rail and starts passing horses like they are standing still. He does this so quickly, the guy calling the race doesn't even mention the name until he is already in first place and wins. This video replay of the race also shows an aerial overhead view of "Mine that Bird"'s amazing run.

  • It was reported he ran the last 3/8 of a mile of the kentucky derby 2nd fastest of all time.Second only to the one and only Secretariat, so just knowing that should of told the people who said he was fluke that he wasnt and that in fact he is for real and in the preakness even though he didnt win he was charging like a freight train from last place again 18 lengths behind all the way to the heels of that awesome filly RA..

  • Wow, great comment!

  • This is the greatest video of that horse. The overhead really does him justice

  • Thanks!

  • Smith wasn't bad at all, but still wonder if Borel had been on top if MtB would have won Preakness.

  • Well it was obviously no fluke, as this horse was clearly the best in the field at the Preakness too. This time however it was boxed in a bit too much and couldn't quite get there. Another 1/16 mi. and he clearly would have overtaken R.A., despite having to zig-zag his way up there through traffic.

    That Filly is a sprinter, but the Belmont is more like a marathon. MTB should be the clear-cut favorite. R.A. will lead for 1 1/4 mi. or so then fade fast and end up near the rear.

  • There definitely was an awareness of MtB's great speed, and there certainly was an concerted effort to shut him out.
