Jockey Chris Antley leads Racing Hall of Fame class (The Associated Press)
Chris Antley, the late jockey who twice won the Kentucky Derby, was elected to the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame on Monday with thoroughbreds Lava Man and Xtra Heat and trainer King Leatherbury. Antley, who died of a drug overdose in 2000, won the Derby in 1991 with Strike the Gold and in 1999 with Charismatic. He won 127 graded stakes races and 293 overall stakes and led North American riders with 469 wins in 1985. After entering drug rehab, he came back to win his first Kentucky Derby aboard Strike the Gold, then won the Derby and Preakness with Charismatic.
