Roswell, N.M. – January 20, 2012 – One lucky person will get to experience life as a jockey and hang out for the day with the winner of the 135th Kentucky Derby – Mine That Bird. The horse’s story continues to inspire people across the globe. The winner, and the winner’s companion, will be flown to Roswell, New Mexico.

They will receive VIP treatment, which includes spending an entire day with Mine That Bird, and then chow down at the Double Eagle Ranch with the Bird’s down home cowboy owners for a big western style “cowboy bar-b-q”. If you’re the winner you’ll find out in person what it’s like to live the life of a horse-racing rancher, train a winner, and ride him to victory.
