2009 Kentucky Derby


I wanted to the see original footage from the 2009 derby, and found a 45 minute clip on HULU. It was amazing how Chip and Mark's story was totally ignored by NBC and Mine that Bird did not even come up in anyone's commentary. After the race when Bird won they were tripping over themselves to get the story out about the horse and his owner's and trainer and even admitted they missed it. When they received the trophy, their reactions were so heart felt and touching, It really makes me want to see this movie even more. I can't wait to see how this is reflected in the movie when I finally get an opportunity to see it. I can see why Jim Wilson wanted to tell this story.

It's also on YouTube. I watched it, too. Brought tears to my eyes.
