“50 to 1” is an America motion picture that tells both the story of how Mine That Bird, surprised the world by winning the 2009 Kentucky Derby, and his cowboys owners, Mark Allen and Doc Blach found Hall of Fame Jockey Calvin Borel, and formed the alliance that made that dream come true.
50 to 1
My Screenplay
I watched that actual Derby win, and quickly realized it was a story to be told. Thus began a two year adventure. I started the project, wrote my first screenplay, and learned the pitfalls involved in getting a movie from screenplay to screen.
The great thing of the project was my friendship with Mine That Bird. From the electric first glance at the Preakness stall till the last palm licking goodbye at the barn, that was a deep love that has lasted till today.
Mine That Bird I love you!
