Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - Surprising New Mexico Moments

This last weekend I was thinking about an interesting surprise in the history of New Mexico. Saturday, May 4th, the Kentucky Derby was run. There was a surprising Kentucky Derby fifteen years ago. New Mexico was front and center of that surprise. Let us look back 15 years to a tough little gelding named Mine That Bird that oddsmakers had at 50 to 1, meaning they thought the horse had very little chance at winning. A two-dollar bet on Mine That Bird would get you $103.20 if he won, which shows the oddsmakers thought little of the horse.  He won in dramatic fashion after falling back at the start of the race and then he caught up and passed all the other horses to win by a good margin. It is quite a story.Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company. Also, check us out on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube!
