LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)—The cowboy and his horse beat them all.

Four Hall of Fame trainers. The ruler of Dubai. Two very sentimental favorites.

Trainer Bennie Woolley Jr. hitched Mine That Bird to the back of his pickup and drove to the Kentucky Derby from New Mexico. With an inspired ride on the rail from Calvin Borel, it all added up to one of the greatest upsets in 135 years of America’s most famous horse race.

“Those cowboys,” trainer Bob Baffert said, “they came with a good horse.”
