The Underdog Prevails!

I could hardly believe my eyes as I witnessed the 50-1 long-shot horse Mine That Bird come from dead last in a field of 19 to win the 135th Kentucky Derby this past Saturday. And not only did that scrappy little bargain horsie win, he blew the rest of those horses away. His win constituted the second largest upset in Kentucky Derby history. I love it! You should SO never judge a book by its cover. Beauty, size, prestige, net worth, famous trainers and fancy owners...guess all those things don't really mean crap if you've got talent and want something bad enough. Those with the most heart always win!
