Eddie Arcaro [February 19, 1916 - November 4, 1997] and William Hartak [December 9, 1932 - November 26, 2007] are the only two jockeys with five Kentucky Derby victories. Revered as the greatest jockey in American Thoroughbred horse racing history, Arcaro won the Derby in 1938, 1941, 1945, 1948, and 1952. Hartack won the Derby in 1957, 1960, 1962, 1964, and 1969.
Mine That Bird is a $9,000 thoroughbred race horse. Like all Kentucky Derby horses, he was 3 years old. He was ridden by Calvin H. Borel [b. November 8, 1966] and was 6-7 lengths ahead of the other horses when he crossed the finish line.
Specifically, Mine That Bird [foaled May 10, 2006] covered the 1-1/4 mile [2 kilometers; 10 furlongs] dirt track in 2:02.66 minutes. He thereby became the ninth gelding to win the Derby. In fact, he became the second gelding to have won since 1929.
Monarchos won the Kentucky Derby in 2001. He ran the second fastest Derby ever recorded, behind Secretariat. He is one of only two horses (the other being Secretariat, of course) to get a time under 2 minutes.
Fusaichi Pegasus [foaled April12, 1997] was the winning horse in the 2007 Kentucky Derby. His winning jockey was Kent Jason Desormeaux [February 27, 1970]. The horse's unusual name, which combines his owner's first name and that of the winged horses of ancient Greek legends, often is shortened affectionately to 'FuPeg'.
