Awesome Victory for Mine That Bird

This is an awesome video of this past weekends Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. Make sure you watch the video until at least around the 7 second mark. It is so cool to see the horses from a "birds eye view". Jockey Calvin Borel is very emotional and fun to watch. ::Michelle::

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, who also rode Rachel Alexandra to a one-sided triumph in Friday's Kentucky Oaks. (Source DRF)
