Kentucky Derby

I had picked Hold Me Back to win and Pioneerof the Nile as second. I was shocked at Mind That Bird's amazing win!!!

No, I didn't blame him either. The commentators really annoy me for these things lol.

What a race!
Wonder if Mine That Bird would've done that well on a dry track. Beautiful run, but definitely not standard conditions. I love it when an underdog wins, though!!!!

Felt sorry for Dunkirk. They showed a close up of his stumble out of the gate.

I loved the overhead view, really showed he was flying down the track! Even DH couldnt believe he came from that far behind.

It was a great race, but what a ride! Big kudos to the jock for the bobbing and weaving!

My BFFE bet on Mine That Bird at a Derby party. She liked the name, reminded her of our chickens, lol. She won 120 bucks!!! GO KELLY!
