BREAKING NEWS: Van Nistelrooy Wins 130th Kentucky Derby CHURCHILL DOWNS, KY—Longshot Ruud van Nistelrooy shocked the racing world Saturday night, diving for the roses in the 130th running of the Kentucky Derby. Nistelrooy, who went off at 65-1, struggled out of the gate, tumbling to the sloppy track after only minimal contact. Yet he recovered to become the first ever Dutch winner of the Kentucky classic, diving past 4-1 favorite Smarty Jones to win the garland of roses by a nose. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already claimed a one-half interest in any offspring sired by the Dutch thoroughbred. Nistelrooy’s trainers seemed surprised at the trophy. “This result exceeds our wildest expectations. We knew Ruud could run 4 to 6 yards, but none of us expected him to last the full mile and a quarter!” Van Nistelrooy was gracious in victory. “I could never have accomplished this without my wonderful supporters in Madrid,” he whinnied. “I mean Manchester.”
