This is simply thrilling. I had to watch the clip about five times to catch Mine That Bird in the pack and then to follow his stunning break through. He starts out dead last, at one point trailing by more than 15 lengths. Watch closely as the horses make the final turn.
Here's some background and reaction. And there's a Canadian connection.

Yea, caught that. Kinda reminds one of Susan Boyle.
Ha, you're right, Chrystal Ocean. I guess we need these feel-good stories amidst the doom and gloom, eh?
The pre-race book on Mine That Bird was 'No chance. He's too small and too slow'. Heh.
Second-longest shot evah. Wish I had a couple on him. And a gelding too. ;)
Couple of bucks, that is.
Test-tickles are not always required to get the job done.
Well, for teabagging. . . Oh. Wait. Wrong week.
Hahahahaha you two! WTG Mine that Bird! APPLAUSE.
