A huge upset in Louisville yesterday, as underdog race horse Mine That Bird beat 50-1 odds and won the Kentucky Derby. Originally purchased for just $9,500, Mine That Bird had never won a graded race before. Liveblogging the race, The New York Times' The Rail blog blurted at the moment of the win: "Mine That Bird, 50-1 in morning line, wins!!!! An impossible upset!" Jockey Calvin Borel was "in tears" after his win, his second in three years.
