Bailey read on the internets that Mine That Bird was a good longshot bet for the Kentucky Derby. We had $10 on him to win, and he came in at 50-1. I had heard that the #16 position in the Derby has won the race a number of times, so we made a $1 exacta bet and included #8 Mine That Bird and #16 Pioneer of the Nile. Pioneer didn't win but he fought through the pack to finish second. Not too shabby for a couple of amateurs who couldn't even be bothered to buy a racing form.
