Tough to call a race with 20 horses in it. Running far back then sneakily blowing by the tired horses in mid stretch totally surprised the announcer. Probably the most dramatic Derby I've ever seen. Kudos to Calvin Borel and Mine That Bird.

Everyone is talking about the announcer somehow not seeing Mind That Bird, but what about that horse. Halfway through the final turn he found a passing gear. He was leaving the rest of the horses by strides and strides I thought it looked almost magical. Then near the finish he pointed back to someone just to rub their nose in his dust(slop). Just a stellar horse performance!!

I don't gamble and I have never owned a horse .....and races like this are why I NEVER miss the derby. I watch the triple crown and breeders cup strictly to watch these beautiful animals shock the world. This was one of the best I've seen and I have watched over 40 derby's in my life. Mine that Bird replay is the gift that keeps on giving .

And the amazing thing is the race wasn't even close

Incredible move by the jockey and response by the horse. This is very inspiring!

I think POTN was such a heavy favorite. He had the Baffert team, Gomez on board, well known owners. Calvin just knew the track, stayed out of the melee loafing in the back, had plenty of horse going into the final turn, and threaded the tiring pack like a master.

Worst Kentucky Derby race call in history. Durkin did not see MTB in the first run through then corrected himself when he realized that MTB was trailing well back of the last horse. Then he never picked up the monster move up the rails and never saw MTB taking the lead and drawing off in the stretch. He only called MTB in front after the eight pole. Truly butchered the call.

Some racehorses are staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. “In the last 15 races, I’ve won eight of them!” Another horse breaks in: “Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!” “Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!” says another. At this point, the horses notice a greyhound, who has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!” The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog!”
