What a fantastic race! The kind of story that would beggar belief if Hollywood told it exactly as it happened. A veteran jockey riding a 50-1 nobody comes from the back of the field to win by 6 3/4-lengths.

You can't see it in the regulation coverage. The aerial view is what blows you away, Calvin Borel riding Mine That Bird from next-to-last through the pack like a motorcyclist cutting through a traffic jam.
