Mine That Bird, longshot winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, will begin a temporary residence at the Kentucky Derby Museum during the final event of the 2024 Legends Series with Maker’s Mark from 5-8 p.m. March 27.

As the star of the evening, Mine That Bird will be showcased in the museum’s stable, offering attendees an extraordinary opportunity to witness a Kentucky Derby winner in person. Tickets are available to purchase on the museum’s website.

“We are thrilled to bring Mine That Bird to the museum’s stable for this extraordinary Legends event,” said Mark Allen, Mine That Bird’s owner. “It’s a unique opportunity for fans to get close to a living legend and explore the captivating history of longshots in the Kentucky Derby.”

The Legends Series, hosted by renowned bourbon connoisseur Fred Minnick, has always been a highlight on the museum’s calendar, bringing together horse racing fans and bourbon enthusiasts. The event will coincide with the unveiling of the new Long Shots mini-exhibit, which features artifacts from five of the longest shots to ever win the Derby.

“The Legends Series has always been a fun way to experience Derby history and bourbon at the same time, and this year’s event takes it to a whole new level,” said Derby museum president and CEO Patrick Armstrong. “The special barrel of Maker’s Mark that we’ve selected for the museum showcases the excitement and thrill of what a longshot win is all about. It’s a taste of victory, a celebration of the unexpected, and a nod to the unpredictable nature of the Derby itself.”

Mine That Bird will be at the Derby Museum through mid-April.
