Mine That Bird is a more recent (2009) Kentucky Derby winner. In his remaining Triple Crown races he took 2nd and then 3rd, getting progressively worse. Though not famous for his later races, this 50-1 horse snuck past the leaders on the rail and won by 6 lengths.
Mine That Bird is muscular, but not in the same way that Smarty Jones is. All four of his legs are very thin, but also appear straight. His neck is tied high into his body, which lifts weight off his front legs, allowing for quick maneuverability. For this photo his cannons appear short, explaining his amazing come from the pack victory in the Derby.
