Churchill Downs And Calvin Borel
 
Did not watch or wager on any races today but checked results just now.

Was it another typical ride the rail on the stretch day for ole smiley or what?

Gosh he wins a lot there.

Too bad he doesnt know how to take his show on the road

The guy is God at Churchill. I will throw away 100 bucks on a Oaks/Derby double on Calvin.

Been discussing this with a couple others this afternoon..you leave super saver out at your own peril. I'm sure a lot of the walkup crowd will bet calvin, but you have to look at just about any mount he gets there.

I think this where that "missing the wedding and showing up for the funeral" quote would fit well.

He really didn't have a 'Mine That Bird" trip today. Just rode well.

As he turned for home aboard the leader in the first race, the grandstand absolutely erupted. They love him there.

All I know is Super Saver will be included on my tickets just cause Calvin

chucklestheclown 04-24-2010 11:28 PM

He is no Prado; but Super Saver is a good suck-up for 4th with him on board, no matter what the draw. IMO.

He murdered me at the fall meet and it looks like he's planning to do the same in the spring.

He probably bring the price down on SS a few ticks. Less value in playing him.

chucklestheclown 05-01-2010 12:40 AM

Wow.

herkhorse 05-01-2010 07:03 AM

I'm starting to believe Calvin will go off on the favorite. I mean, hell, he won last year right? :zz:
