People can die out there. I don't blame him for being mad at all.

He's fighting for his life out there. It's not like he can read and therefore do anything else if riding horses goes down the tubes.

Please take it to the JOCKS room and not in front of everyone from the sport and in front of a large tv crowd that might have many checking it out for the first,second time. Not good for our sport folks..

It was kind of funny watching Jaime Theriot and Shane Sellers trying to hold Borel back.

Totally disagree. It might turn the pretty horsey people off, but they love Borel anyway. I've gotten two texts already from non racing fan friends asking about it and they are watching the races now.

Hockey fisticuffs come to TB horse racing. Could bring in more fans?!~

Personally, I found it ugly and upsetting.

Did Calvin give Martin an assist to help steady him when Martin came out of the saddle?

Shame about Prince Will - he's a nice horse.

It is a natural progression from midget wrestling.

Can someone post a link to the fight? I caught a glimpse of it on TSN but haven't been able to find it on Youtube yet.

After things cooled down, Calvin handled it way better than ESPN.

Don't be throwin' down with no Cajun racer:Come on men, it's Calvin at Churchill.

ESPN with all it's high tech toys never mentions this possibility so maybe I'm wrong but this isn't the first time Javier has tried to occupy a space that was not close to clear. JC is talented and improving IMO but he's also a dangerous punk at times. If he did sucker Borel he should get a suspension that fits the crime like BC days of some sort that would get the message across.

Princess Doreen 11-05-2010 08:54 PM

Somebody gets in my face waving their finger at me, it's either going to get bit or slapped away. That's what JC did, and Calvin deserved it. Calvin's actions today undo a lot of good I thought about him.

They both deserve a fine and suspension, but I don't believe JC did anything intentional. Calvin did. He's nothing but a punk fighting to keep his employment intact.

Seattleallstar 11-05-2010 08:55 PM

props to Martin Garcia for the way he handled things as he was the one out of all of them who had all the reason to get upset, nice to know he remembers he had a mom who raised him right.
