                               RESOLUTION


 
    Congratulating Jockey Calvin Borel for his victory at the 133rd 
                            Kentucky Derby.

Whereas Calvin Borel, born and raised in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, began 
        riding match horse races at the age of 8 in the State of Louisiana;
Whereas Mr. Borel began his professional career as a jockey at the age of 16;
Whereas Mr. Borel is known for his work ethic and, even while ranked as a 
        leading rider, often gallops horses and does stable chores for his 
        brother before working horses in the morning;
Whereas Mr. Borel had raced, but not placed, in four prior Kentucky Derbies;
Whereas on May 5, 2007, in the presence of the Queen of England, Mr. Borel rode 
        Street Sense against several horses with stronger reputations; and
Whereas in 2 minutes and 2.17 seconds Mr. Borel and Street Sense completed the 
        race and placed first: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives commends Calvin Borel 
for his victory at the 133rd Kentucky Derby.
                                 <all>
