No, I'm not talking about one of those low percentage kill shots with a Panther at 3000m, I'm talking about Mine That Bird the horse who won the Kentucky Derby at 50-1 odds this afternoon.

Don't know how many folks here watch the Derby (it's a requirement in my house for my wife), and I've seen some good ones, but this race was great. Dang horse was worth $9500 (that's not a typo) and was driven in a single trailer by it's owner (who is on crutches from a motorcycle accident) from New Mexico so he could enter the Derby. I love upsets, underdogs, and the average Joe climbing his way to the top of the heap.

Well done Mine That Bird for recording the second biggest upset in Derby history (I'll have to go google the biggest) LOL
