    Don't think this has been posted yet, but then I didn't check with Glimmerglass http://horsetalk.co.nz/2013/03/09/mi...out-this-year/

    Ha! The last I think had on the movie was this announcement from 2012 with the film production.

    For those MTB fans he'll return to Churchill Downs and will stay there for the spring meet.

    [Mine That Bird] will be the Kentucky Derby Museum’s resident thoroughbred during Churchill Downs’ spring meet. It’s the first time that a Derby winner has been at the museum.

    Blach said people come four or five times a week to Double Eagle to see Mine That Bird, including recently a woman from Maryland who spent three days visiting the gelding.

    “He’s really got a fan base,” he said. “I’m just amazed how many people and cards and letters we get for him all the time.”
    Not sure where he exactly will "live" to then be visible to fans. I'm assuming there is no room in the gift shop.

    Well, they had that place (a paddock, I assume with a stall somewhere) for a "meet the thoroughbred" place with a retired gelding who was there for museum visitors/tourists to see...I assume people this meet will just get to meet a REALLY FAMOUS thoroughbred.
