Mine That Bird on the inside

going nose and nose.

And here comes Scorewithcater,

who moves into third

as Mythical Power, the gray,

moves up on the far outside.

But Kelly Leak with a sudden burst

of speed, opens up by two lengths.

Mine That Bird

is turning along the rail

as Scorewithcater and

Mythical Power gain ground.

But it's Kelly Leak

who's gonna win

the Sunland Derby

by two and a half lengths.

Mythical Power getting up

for second,

Scorewithcater hangs on

for the show

and Mine That Bird

fades to fourth.

Fourth?

Good job.

Great day, huh? Great day.

Hey, Casey!

You call that a ride?

You rushed him up there

way too early again.

Look, I told you

he's got one run in him.

You cost me another big race.

You're off the horse!

Fine! You need an excuse,

I got your excuse.

It ain't the horse, it's you!

You can't train worth sh*t.

Never could.

I don't know why anybody'd give you

a horse to train in the first place.

You piece of sh*t.

Mr. Woolley.

Yes, sir.

Your brother came through

surgery just fine.

But the breaks in his leg

are very serious.

There's a plate and 12 screws

holding the bones together.

So he's got to stay off that

leg or it won't heal properly.

He'll be in recovery another half an hour.

You can visit with him then.

Thank you, sir.

Chip's gonna have a fit,

if anyone else trains Bird.

That's all he's got.

We'll move him to my place.

I got plenty of folks

that'll help him out.

Sorry, this one didn't go

through either.

Maybe try to put half

on this card

and half on that one.

Shh.

You tell anyone I was here

and I'm a dead man.

Yeah, had me a little accident.

Thought for a minute

I might not see you again.

I know...

I know things ain't exactly

worked out so far, Bird, but...

Yeah, that ain't your fault.

It's mine.

You know, here I am

expecting you to make it

all happen, and well,

we're supposed to be a team.

I know I ain't been there

for ya.

Heck, I ain't been there

for nobody.

I'm sorry I let you down, Bird.

And, uh...

I'm sorry it took

this to wake me up.

You deserve better, so...

So let's make a deal.

I promise I'll give you

everything I got.

And you, you don't hold back.

We'll do it together

from now on.

Yeah, I know.

Deal?

All right. Okay, then.

Deal.

Hmm.

Hey, look.

Alex!

Come here a sec!

Somebody I want you to meet.

Hey.

Hey, you made it.

Yeah.

No, not a girl, Mark.

Hey.

Chip, this here's Alex.

Best rider I got.

She's gonna help you out

with Bird.

What?

Well, must of been a hell

of a ride for ya, huh?

Let's get you up to the house,

get you settled in.

Alex, put Bird in the stall

for me?

Sure.

I tell ya,

that Alex sure is something.
