Nothing brings out the stars and the super rich like the Kentucky Derby!

Jockey, Calvin Borel wins on “Mine That Bird“, a 50-1 long shot.  One of the amazing “stats” is that he took his horse from “dead last” to first!

Mine That Bird won by an amazing 6 3/4 lengths, making this one of the biggest upsets ever in Kentucky Derby history. I wish I would have had a few thousand on the horse who was sold for only $9500 as a yearling! (Beats the 2 million dollars a couple of others sold for)

Celebrities attending the event were

• Bethenny Frankel
• Kim Kardashian
• LeAnn Rimes
• Valerie Bertinelli
• Joey Faltone
• “Kid Rock”
• Travis Tritt
• Brooke Shields

and many many more!

For a race that last close to two minutes and has over 150, 000 attendees, it is truly a piece of American history. Sometimes the race winners go exactly as the odds predict and at other time, you never know what will happen at the Kentucky Derby. (Louisville KY)
