Check out the first trailer and poster for the upcoming movie 50 TO 1 – based on Mine That Bird, the underdog racehorse that won the 2009 Kentucky Derby. The film opens in theaters March 21, 2014.

50 TO 1 is about a misfit group of New Mexico cowboys who find themselves on the journey of a lifetime when their crooked-footed racehorse qualifies for the Kentucky Derby. The cowboys face a series of mishaps on their way to Churchill Downs, becoming the ultimate underdogs in a final showdown with the world’s racing elite.

50 TO 1 is from the Oscar-winning producer of DANCES WITH WOLVES, Jim Wilson, who serves as this film’s director, producer, and co-writer. Faith Conroy co-wrote the script with Wilson.

Skeet Ulrich (Jericho, “SCREAM,” “AS GOOD AS IT GETS”), Christian Kane (Leverage), William Devane (24, “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES”), Todd Lowe (True Blood, Gilmore Girls) and newcomer Madelyn Deutch star in the film alongside real-life jockey Calvin Borel, who plays himself in the picture.

Mine That Bird (foaled May 10, 2006) is an American thoroughbred racehorse who had a racing career in both Canada and the United States from 2008 to 2010. He is best known for pulling off a monumental upset (at 50-to-1 odds) by winning the Kentucky Derby in 2009. He became one of only nine geldings to win the Kentucky Derby and the second gelding to win the race since 1929.

He continued to have success in the two remaining races of the American Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing by finishing second in the 2009 Preakness Stakes and third in the 2009 Belmont Stakes. On November 6, 2010, Mine That Bird was retired from racing after being winless in nine starts since the Kentucky Derby. He amassed $2,228,637 in earnings and won five of eighteen starts during his three-year racing career. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mine_that_bird)
