By RICHARD ROSENBLATT, AP Racing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Funny Cide rolled to victory in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday in an upset over favorite Empire Maker, becoming the first gelding to win America's greatest race in 74 years.

Funny Cide is the first gelding since Clyde Van Dusen in 1929 to win the Derby. Since then, 74 geldings have tried and failed.
