                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 2003

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the victors of 
the Kentucky Derby. On Saturday, May 3, the veteran jockey Jose Santos 
road the gelding Funny Cide in the 129th running of the Kentucky Derby 
at the Louisville, Kentucky racetrack. Owned by Sakatoga Stable in 
Sackets Harbor, New York and trained by Barclay Tagg, Funny Cide is the 
first New York bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby and the first 
gelding to win the Derby since 1929. This is not only a victory for the 
owners, trainer, and rider of Funny Cide, but the entire State of New 
York and I wish them continued success.
