@@michaelreeves3637 same here! If you can find it??? A group of people on the backstretch watching the race, kinda laughing as he went by last cheering/jeering and then shocked when he won and the interviewer on horse right in front of them as they cooled down to go to circle.
The interview with the owner/trainer after the race was also terrible. They didn’t know what to ask him. They didn’t even really congratulate him on a great horse. They were just too busy being shocked. It was a great race.
I visited at his home and then a couple of years ago at Ruidoso where he appeared for charity event for disable jockeys! I love him and I still cry every time I see this! NM PROUD!!! It was NOT impossible....he was the 2 year old champ in Canada! He went on to run in all 3 TC races...jockey switch and ran 2 and 3 in the last 2 legs! GREAT HORSE! Had epiglottis surgery, Lukas barn ruined him after he was transferred there! So glad he survived and has retired healthy and happy! PS...the TRACK ANNOUNCER caught the move! RIP Pioneer of the Nile and Summer Bird😪
I guess like most people, I watch horses race only one time a year. So I'm hardly an expert. But I swear, every time I see this, it's so crazy to watch a horse that's twice as fast as the field. It looks fake, AI generated. Astounding!
I agree. Money isn't everything. Once the horse has paid for itself it should get breaks now and then. I heard Ron Turcotte tell about a race that Secretariat lost. He said the horse had been running a fever and he begged Lucien, the trainer, not to run him in that race. Then he asked the owner but nobody would listen to him. They ran him with a fever and he came in 4th. When he went back to his stall he had 105 degree temperature. They could have injured or killed the greatest racehorse of all time. Thankfully, he was young and strong and pulled through.
One of the most amazing finishes in Derby history
Ha! He pulled from last into first before the announcer even noticed!
Horrible call on the race!
When you are so far behind the red arrow is even out of the frame… what a ride💪
This is the greatest race I have ever seen. I watch it every so often. It’s just amazing.
Still an amazing victory to this day.
El Venezolano Cañonero II
Ganó pagando 300-1 en 1971 y fue una carrera similar dónde apareció en los 200 finales y ganó después el preknes
One of the best race come from way out of it. Calvin Borel still the best doing the rail.
That was incredible! The way he moved coming from way behind in the mud he wasn't fooling around!
One of the best comebacks ever
I LOVE this one! It gives me happy tears just watchin' that Bird fly!! 😮😲🐎🐴👍👍👍👍😘🎊
That announcer needs to put the binoculars down from time to time.
Worst call of a race EVER!!!
What a horrible call! So focused on the favorites and yet blind to the race itself!
The race was 2009 and I can't find an alternate call. I would love to hear someone who actually knew what was going on. It really cheated the winner

Sure enough... still calling out the favorites as mine that bird blows by... awful call
Ain’t nothing like Larry Collmus calling Rick Strike big upset
Make me Goosebumps, what a wonderful finishing by the horse

A killer run by the jockey and horse. This and Secretariets Belmont run just warm my heart
He was not a fluke, win, place and show in the triple crown races. A great horse!
Mine That Bird is an invisible horse

Exactly! Looked like a come back Disney movie !
BEST Jockey Ride, One of the BEST run by a horse, WORST call by a top level commentator
Mine That Bird was flying on the rail!! How do you miss that Larry?!
WOW !!! Amazing.
We were there, just in front of the starting gate, about 15 rows from the track. It was the coolest thing.
The announcer was Tom Durkin
Amazing👏
need that other film with arrow, as caller completely missed what was happening......he was only about the corporate favorites....."for shame"
Was that his first time announcing a race? That was terrible
It wasn't! It was just not at all expected for Mind That Bird to have any reason for attention. Incredible day in racing.
@@jenniferschade7553 but human sight, our primary sense
Wow! What a comeback, or should I say "come-up!"
I love the ponies and I love to watch them run but I detest running them on a wet and muddy track. I care greatly for the horses and not their owners.

@@JaneSmith0709 what race are you talking about?
If you really cared about the horses, you would not support horse racing. For the most part, it is just abusive.
that is ..... uuhhhh... mine that bird
Have another drink Calvin
2024 Derby is the best race
Rahel alexandra❤
Tom Durkin would never have botched this call so bad
You sure about that?
Worst call of any race I have ever seen.... Didnt even mention Mine that Bird once as he was weaving through traffic... pathetic
My Firzt Derby & Win Thank U Mr Bo"Rail"
Lo que paso por la valla fue un avion
Tom Durkin, worst announcer in history. Typical NBC. All emotion, no facts.
This horse literally went chosen one mode and wasn't given his due until he won 🥲
