However, Manute Bol, a former basketball player who stands at 7'7", recently did a "stint" as a jockey for a charity event.

Also, the current tallest female jockey is Louise Moeller from Denmark at 6'1", but she only weighs in at 112 lbs! that's hardly a heavy load for a horse.

Mine That Bird [foaled May 10, 2006] was the winning horse in last year's Kentucky Derby. The winning date was May 2, 2009. The winning jockey was Calvin H. Borel [b. November 8, 1966]. The winning time was 2 minutes 02.66 seconds.

The ancestry of the modern thoroughbred traces back to three main sires. The Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, and the Byerly Turk.

Each year, about 35,000 thoroughbreds are born and registered in the Jockey Club of American. Every one shares the dream of one day making it, and winning the Kentucky Derby. Out of these 35,000, only about 15,000 will make it to the track. Of those 10,000 only 20 can run in the Kentucky Derby, and out of those 20, only one horse can come out victorious. Therefore, the Kentucky Derby is one the most prestigious races in American, and with good reason, too.

well in 2007 Curlin lost the Kentucky Derby ( i think her placed third) but won the preakness and lost the blemont to the filly Rags to Riches.
