ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)—Hollywood has an eye on Mine That Bird.

Plans are in the works for a movie about the New Mexico-based thoroughbred that won the 2009 Kentucky Derby as a 50-1 longshot.

The director will be Jim Wilson, the Academy Award-winning producer of “Dances With Wolves.” The production team also includes Santa Fe resident Tony Mark, who was executive producer for the Academy Award-winner, “The Hurt Locker.”

Among those being considered for roles are Mine That Bird himself and three-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel.

The film will follow the adventures of an undersized horse and his cowboy owners and trainer. The horse is owned by Dr. Leonard Blach of Roswell and is currently trained by Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, who took the reins earlier this year from Chip Woolley.

Preproduction begins in February.

Great story. Not so sure about casting Borel though.

Anyone who has ever kept up with our game, knows she was the best female ever. If she wouldn't have broke her legs, she would have won what Frank entered her in.

I hear ya, she's the best female to ever race and her legacy would have only grown if not for the injury.

Kills me that I never got to see her or any of the other greats run.

      I also didnt think that Tepper was too involved. I think he liked to be engaged in the process but never did he seem to influence anything.  If Im an owner Im in the draft room as well. Hell I get excited about draft season in Madden if I can do it in real life....

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.
