Endurance rider Kim Abbott has a history on Mingus Mountain, and she added another chapter Saturday with a win in the Annual 50-mile Man Against Horse Race.
Abbott galloped her Arabian horse, Sea Spot Run, across the finish line with an exhultant yell and a high-five for husband Greg Rose, also an endurance rider.
"Eight years ago today, I won this!" she said.
Abbott finished the grueling 50-mile loop course in 7 hours, 27 minutes, besting last year's winner, Dana Weary, by just three minutes.
Paul Bonnett of Scottsdale was just 20 minutes behind at 7 hours, 57 minutes.
"I was catching up on the mountain," he said, "But I couldn't catch the horse on the flats."
The runner has won the race in the past - most notably Dennis Poolheco, who scorched the course six straight times between 2001 and 2006.
