She got bumped coming out of the gate, putting her in last place for a few seconds. The move she made along the rail was identical to the move the jockey made the last time he won the Derby.

A better word is that to the wise up-and-coming conservative politicians. Plunge and weave through the blockers.

Hell yeah ... the lessons here by far surpass Green Eggs and Ham.
I didn't watch the Derby, but after reading a couple of blurbs today, I went looking ... what a great horse.

Yep, the other horses looked like they were standing still as Mine That Bird just flew by them.

My wife bet on him — all the longshots, actually — another proof of a longshot theory I used to play thirty-five years ago. Some longshots are great bets. And my granddad always said if you are going to bet anything, bet the jockey.

That was one hell of a race. We enjoyed it so much.
And we had a little in-house betting going on. My 12-year-old won the whole pot by choosing Mine that Bird!
His jockey was wonderful. I am sad for his owner that the previous owners gelded him. Who knew??

That’s the shot. It explains it perfectly. I still can’t believe it, but it shows how he did it.

I agree, she looked like a completely different animal. It brought a tear to my eye to see her go like that.
