Tulsa horse wins at Churchill Downs

Tulsan John Wieczorek took one step closer to Dubai and possibly to next year's Breeders' Cup Sprint on Saturday when his horse, Custom For Carlos, co-owned with partner Ron Rashinski, won the $60,900 Bet on Sunshine Handicap at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.

For the first quarter of a mile of the 6-furlong race, jockey Jose Lezcano let Run Brother Ron set the early pace but took over with Custom For Carlos with a half-mile to go. When Lezcano asked the horse to pick up the front-runner, he went by him with ease and finished 3 3/4 lengths ahead of the field of nine horses in a time of 1 minute, 9.71 seconds. The interior fractions of the race were 21.65 for the first quarter mile, 45.13 for a half-mile and 57.12 for five-eighths of a mile.

Custom for Carlos, a 3-year-old colt by More than Ready, earned $37,040 for the victory and has pocketed $290,630 in 10 starts. He has won 4-of-10 for trainer Eddie Kenneally. By RICHARD LINIHAN World Correspondent
