In a spectacular...spectacular upset...Mine that Bird has won the Kentucky Derby! An impossible result here!" —NBC Sports race announcer Tom Durkin calling the end of the race The ending of the race came as a shock to those in attendance as Mine That Bird, trained by "Chip" Woolley Jr. and ridden by Calvin Borel, running dead last until the final turn, suddenly moved into the lead in the final furlong. He took the lead so fast after the final turn that NBC Sports race announcer Tom Durkin didn't notice the gelding and was still heatedly describing the performance of Pioneerof the Nile and Musket Man despite Mine That Bird already opening a three-length lead over the pack. Mine That Bird won by 63 4 lengths for the longest margin of victory in over 60 years. He was the longest-odds horse to win the Derby in over 85 years.https://www.kentuckyderby.com/sites/kentuckyderby.com/files/u64720/Margins%20(2015).pdf Margins Churchill Downs Incorporated 2013 2015-11-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20151007013417/http://www.kentuckyderby.com/sites/kentuckyderby.com/files/u64720/Margins%20%282015%29.pdf 2015-10-07 dead https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/8031362.stm Long-odds win in Kentucky Derby 2009-05-03 BBC Sport 2009-05-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20090504012450/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/8031362.stm 4 May 2009 live Results Post Horse Winnings Win 8 Mine That Bird $1,417,000 Place 16 Pioneerof the Nile $400,000 Show 2Musket Man $200,000 Fourth 7Papa Clem $100,000 Fifth 11Chocolate Candy $60,000 Margins – 63 4 lengths, nose Time – 2:02.66 Track – Sloppy (sealed) Payout The 135th Kentucky Derby Payout Schedule ProgramNumber Horse Name Win Place Show 8 Mine That Bird US$103.20 $54.00 $25.80 16 Pioneerof The Nile - $8.40 $6.40 2 Musket Man - - $12.00 $1 Exacta: (8-16) Paid $1,037.30 $1 Trifecta: (8-16-2) Paid $20,750.30 $1 Superfecta: (8-16-2-7) Paid $278,503.20 Churchill Downs had scheduled their first futures wager pool for the year to begin on February 12, with two subsequent pools opening on March 12 and April 2.
