🐎 We have been chomping at the bit to finally share this news… and it’s BIG! 🐎

We are beyond excited to announce that Mine That Bird, the legendary 2009 Kentucky Derby Champion, will be coming to EquiFest of Kansas 2026!

His story is known far and wide. Mine That Bird didn’t just win the Derby — he made history. As a 50–1 longshot, he shocked the world with one of the most unforgettable stretch runs in racing history, flying down the rail to win by nearly 7 lengths. His story is the ultimate underdog tale, proving heart, grit, and determination can beat the odds.

From champion racehorse to beloved ambassador of the sport, Mine That Bird continues to inspire horse lovers everywhere — and now YOU’LL get the chance to meet this living legend and his owners, Mark and Tawnya Allen in person!

✨ A heartfelt thank you to the Kansas Thoroughbred Association and the owners of Mine that Bird for helping make this dream a reality!

Winter time is around the corner! Get your variegated spider plants purchased now only five dollars a start.

They grow quickly and shoot off more starts. You can easily propagate. These are great to have in your home to help clean the air.
