When the horses sped around the track at the Kentucky Derby on May 1, there was one local person with a particular rooting interest. Starrâs Mill High alum Eric Armagost is a part owner of Hot Rod Charlie, a 3-year-old colt that competed in the prestigious horse race.
Armagost was a part of Starrâs Millâs Class of 2011 and a key fixture on the 2010 state football runner-up team. After earning All-State honors for the Panthers, he went on to play football at Brown University where he met Patrick OâNeill, Dan Giovaccini, Reiley Higgins, and Alex Quoyeser.

Each year about 20,000 thoroughbred foals are registered by owners who dream that three years hence their horse will be the chosen one to win the Kentucky Derby. The dream resumes today with the 147th Run for the Roses.

William Strauss owns one-quarter of Kentucky Derby contender Hot Rod Charlie, last-out winner of the Louisiana Derby, and garnered instant social-media fame due to an ecstatic TVG interview filmed after the 3-year-old colt s front-running victory at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans.
“I m an incredibly even-keel, non-emotional guy,” Strauss told the KHBPA s Jennie Rees earlier this week. “”I have a son that s 33 and a daughter that s 30, and even they were impressed by how I was trending on Twitter from that interview. I don t know where that came from. I had no idea I even had that in me. People are always telling me, Oh, we ve never seen you like that. Well, I ve never been like that.”
