Mine That Bird and trainer to appear at SunRay
Barbara D. Livingston Mine That Bird, winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, is being pointed for the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga.
Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and his trainer, Chip Woolley, will make a special appearance June 17-18 at SunRay Park, the Farmington, N.M., track, announced Saturday night. Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby in 2009 after being based in New Mexico, and inspired the film 50-1.
SunRay will distribute free autographed photos of Woolley, who lives near the track in Bloomfield, N.M.
Mine That Bird was unanimously voted the New Mexico Horse of the Year by the New Mexico State House of Representatives in 2009. He raced for Dr. Leonard Blach of Buena Suerte Equine and Mark Allen of the Double Eagle Ranch. Hall of Fame jockey Calvin Borel rode the horse in the Kentucky Derby.
