This article is for subscribers only.
Super Saver won the 136th Kentucky Derby, giving jockey Calvin Borel a record third victory in four years and trainer Todd Pletcher his first after 24 failures in the top U.S. thoroughbred race.
Borel rode a nearly identical trip to the one that gave him a victory last year on the 50-1 Mine That Bird as he hugged the rail yesterday and passed only one horse on his way to the win at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
