The 2009 Kentucky Derby was the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby. The value of the race was $2,177,000 in stakes.[1] The race was sponsored by Yum! Brands and hence officially was called Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands.[1] The race took place on May 2, 2009, and was televised in the United States on the NBCtelevision network. The Atlanta-based Southern Tourism Society named the Kentucky Derby Festival, which was April 11 to May 1, as one of the top tourist attractions in the Southeast for the first half of 2009.[2] The post time was 6:24 p.m. EDT (10:24 p.m. UTC).[3] The official attendance at Churchill Downs was 153,563.[4]
Results[edit]
—NBC Sports race announcer Tom Durkin calling the end of the race
The ending of the race came as a shock to those in attendance as Mine That Bird, trained by 'Chip' Woolley Jr. and ridden by Calvin Borel, running dead last until the final turn, suddenly moved into the lead in the final furlong. He took the lead so fast after the final turn that NBC Sports race announcer Tom Durkin didn't notice the gelding and was still heatedly describing the performance of Pioneerof the Nile and Musket Man despite Mine That Bird already opening a three-length lead over the pack. Mine That Bird won by 63⁄4 lengths for the longest margin of victory in over 60 years. He was the longest-odds horse to win the Derby in over 85 years.[5][6]

I Want Revenge was scratched on the morning of the race because of lameness issues in the colt's left front ankle.[11] In addition, Quality Road, who had been an early favorite,[12] was withdrawn from the race on April 27 because of a quarter crack in his right front hoof.[13]
Notable achievements[edit]
- Longest winning margin since 1946 when Assault won by 8 lengths[4]
- Calvin Borel is the first jockey since Jerry Bailey in 1993 to win the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby in the same year. Borel won the Kentucky Oaks aboard Rachel Alexandra[4]
- Mine That Bird is the first Sovereign Award as champion two-year-old colt (2008) in Canada to win the Kentucky Derby since Sunny's Halo (1983)[4]
- Mine That Bird winning odds of 50.60-1 was the second highest in Kentucky Derby history after Donerail (1913)[4] now third highest winning odds.
Subsequent Grade I wins[edit]
Mine That Bird never won another race, though he did finish second in the Preakness to Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.[14] Several other horses went on to achieve Grade I success:
- General Quarters – Turf Classic Stakes in 2010.[15]
- Summer Bird[16] – Belmont Stakes, Travers Stakes, Jockey Club Gold Cup
Mr. Hot Stuff never won another race on the flat, but did become a notable steeplechaser. He won the Grade I A. P. Smithwick Memorial Steeplechase Stakes in 2013 and the American Grand National Hurdle Stakes in 2014.[17]
Subsequent breeding careers[edit]
The most notable progeny of participants in the 2009 Derby are as follows.[18]
Pioneerof the Nile (2nd)
- American Pharoah – 2015 Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Haskell Invitational, Breeders' Cup Classic
- Classic Empire – Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Arkansas Derby. Second in Preakness Stakes
- Midnight Storm – Shoemaker Mile
Chief Party Officer[edit]
Building on the longstanding tradition of drinking, partying, and general revelry in the infield, Churchill Downs officials announced that they are accepting applications to be the second 'Chief Party Officer.' According to Chief Marketing Officer Dave Tompkins, 'The non-stop revelry can test the most die-hard partiers, so a CPO candidate must be able to take the reins and lead our infield nation to new heights of fun and frivolity.'[19] In an effort to promote the position, Tim 'Stymie' Snyder, the 2008 Chief Party Officer, attended Super Bowl XLIII to personally recruit applicants.[20] The winner was announced March 6, and prizes include use of an RV (billed as a 'luxurious boardroom on wheels') for the year.[21] This year's Chief Party Officer is Nick Ferrara.
