actually beat someone.

Behind the far turn,

Join in the Dance a narrow lead.

Regal Ransom is pressing hard and

there goes Pioneer of the Nile.

Pioneer of the Nile is

making his advance in the...

Eighth or ninth

would be all right.

Mine That Bird! Hey!

Mine That Bird,

he's coming up the rail!

Where'd he go? I lost him.

He can't get through.

Then down toward the rail,

it's Advice, as the field turns for home.

Top of the stretch, it's still Join

in the Dance with a tenuous lead.

Regal Ransom and Pioneer of

the Nile strike the front,

just outside the eighth pole.

Fourth. Fourth would be good.

Mine That Bird! Hey!

He's in the lead!

He's in the lead! What? Where?

Coming on through,

that is Mine That Bird now

who's coming on to take the lead

as they come down to the finish!

Whoo!

Calvin Borel in the saddle,

saluting the crowd!

Let him roll, Calvin!

Let him roll! Let him roll!

No!

...a hundred

and twenty thousand.

Long, impossible long shot!

Mine That Bird going to win

the Kentucky Derby

in a spectacular,

spectacular upset.

Mine That Bird has won the Kentucky Derby.

An impossible result here!

Yeah! Whoo!

God! Praise God! Oh, my gosh!

We just won this son-of-a-b*tch!

Oh, my gosh!

Let's go, let's go.

Oh! Oh.

How do we get down there?

I don't know.

How do we get

to the winner's circle?

I think it's down here.

You just said I love you

to whom?

My momma and daddy.

Who are no longer with us.

- I wish they were here.

- Oh, Lord.

If they'd only be here to see

what I accomplished in my life.

Hey, let's go, let's go!

Bob, can you share your thoughts

about what you saw out there today?

Well, Calvin is amazing.

He's always been a great rider

and he did it again.

He took to the rail,

found a hole and squeezed through it.

I guess that's why

they call him Calvin Bo-Rail.

The cowboys win today.

50-to-1!

I found them,

found my tickets. I got 'em!

You did it, cuz.

Whoo!

You are the man!

You did it, man. You did it.

What a ride, huh?

You're the best!

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

You're the best. Come on.

Thank you!

Whoo! Whoo!

Yeah!

Huh?

I just want you to know how

grateful I am for all you've done.

And I'm proud to be standing here

in the winner's circle with you.

Thanks for having me.

Oh, man.

Who would have thought, huh?

I knew you had my back.

You always did.

Always will.

We're in the history books now.

Okay, everybody, over here!

Look over here, guys.

All right, great.

Thank you, Bird.

Now, it's a story that even

Hollywood wouldn't believe,

but obviously you had

a pretty good idea.

Yeah, it's wonderful. I haven't...

I just can't say enough, you know.

A feeling like I've never

had before.

We have to give a lot

of credit to Borel.

He really pulled us through

on that race.

I'm beyond happy. I ain't even

got no feelings in me right now.

I'm numb.

Do you really think you know

Exactly where I stand?

Or did I just let you down

When you found

I was just a poor man?

I might of took

a few wrong turns

Down a few wrong roads

Wound up

in a few wrong towns

Where nobody cares or goes

It ain't that I can't see

Or find my way home

It's just that I like

to breathe

Out on country roads

I've never been much

on downtown

Or cared for a place to stay

I know I'll never wear

no crown

I'll never be a king

of slaves

Wash my hands in the rain

I've spent my time

with the whiskey

I'll never give up on change

Or give a damn

if you will ever miss me

'Cause it ain't

that I can't see

Or find my way home

It's just that I like

to breathe

On country roads

I know I'll never

stick around

I'll never lose track

of time

Or worry about a little

old town

Or what I might've

left behind

I'll just let the sun

shine down

I'll just let them

big wheels roll

Keep on running around

Them big old country roads

'Cause it ain't

that I can't see

Or find my way home

It's just that I like

to breathe

On country roads
