Rockamundo Wins Arkansas Derby Amid Breathing Claim
Rockamundo, a 108-1 longshot ridden by Gary Borel, surged through the rail to win the $500,000 Arkansas Derby at Hot Springs. Trainer C J Glass and jockey Mark Guidry attributed the victory to the colt seemingly holding his breath as he slid through the opening and defended Longshot Kissin Kris to finish behind in a four horse photo finish. The win vaults Rockamundo toward a possible Kentucky Derby bid with Borel aboard for May 1.
