MINE THAT BIRD

I guess by now you've heard
What at The Derby has occurred.
Against odds of fifty to one,
The race by seven lengths was won
By a horse named Mine That Bird.

I'm sure it was a thrill
For jockey Calvin Borel.
I don't think he knew
What that horse could do,
Though he rode him well.

He seems a horse that was designed
With a home stretch sprint in mind.
It really was amazing
How he ran like crazy
And came up from far behind.

A win like this you can't assail.
Strange has been this colt's trail.
It really makes you wonder
If he'll prove a one-day wonder.
How'd he slip through on that rail?
