                               RESOLUTION


 
    Commending Louisiana jockeys for their continued success in the 
                   Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

Whereas jockey Calvin Borel successfully won the 133rd running of the Kentucky 
        Derby at Churchill Downs on May 5, 2007;
Whereas Calvin Borel rallied Street Sense from 19th place to pass the 
        pacesetting Hard Spun in the stretch and draw away to a 2\1/4\-length 
        victory;
Whereas the victory was Calvin Borel's first in the Kentucky Derby;
Whereas Calvin Borel was born on November 7, 1966, in St. Martinsville, 
        Louisiana;
Whereas Calvin Borel hails from South Louisiana, the heart of Cajun Country, 
        famous for its production of many top jockeys during the last 20 years; 
        and
Whereas Calvin Borel's victory in the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby 
        solidifies his place in a tradition of Louisiana jockeys who have won 
        the Kentucky Derby, such as Eric Guerin (1947), Edward Delahoussaye 
        (1982, 1983), Craig Perret (1990), and Kent Desormeaux (1998, 2000): 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends Louisiana jockeys for their continued success 
        at one of America's most heralded thoroughbred horseracing 
        events, the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs;
            (2) recognizes jockey Calvin Borel for winning the 133rd 
        running of the Kentucky Derby on May 5, 2007;
            (3) recognizes the achievements of all the owners, 
        trainers, and support staff who were instrumental in helping 
        Calvin Borel and Street Sense to victory; and
            (4) recognizes the achievements of all current and former 
        Louisiana jockeys in the Kentucky Derby.
                                 <all>
