Kentucky Derby - 2009

The 2009 Kentucky Derby saw the biggest upset since 1913, as Mine That Bird, a 50-1 shot slid past all the major contenders on the home stretch to take the win.
In 1913 Donerail was a 91-1 shot winner who set what was then the track record at 2mins 4seconds.  Donerail still holds the record for biggest upset in Derby history.  Sadly the smaller Mine That Bird would not win again on the track before retiring in 2010.  He did finish 2nd in the Preakness to the filly
Rachel Alexandra and was closing fast at the line.  In the Belmont Stakes he had the lead before slowing and finishing 3rd to Summer Bird and Dunkirk.
