            CONGRATULATING KENTUCKY DERBY WINNER RICH STRIKE

  (Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 148th 
Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike, and Rich Strike's owner, OU grad and 
Edmond native, Rick Dawson.
  Rich Strike made history at the 148th Kentucky Derby overcoming 80-1 
odds. This monumental victory is even more impressive as Rich Strike 
was not supposed to be in the Kentucky Derby, entering only after 
another horse was scratched. Rich Strike was added a mere 34 hours 
before the race was set to begin.
  Congratulations to Rich Strike and Rick Dawson for bringing the 
Kentucky Derby to Oklahoma's Fifth Congressional District.
