God bless friggin' America...

That has to be one of the best rides in derby history. Any other jock goes 10 wide but Borel knows the track better than any jockey there. No sweat!

I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time, listening to Calvin whoop it up after the race. That reaction was spectacular, especially after watching him pull another Street Sense up the rail. God bless you, Calvin Borel. I never in a million years thought I'd hear Mine That Bird announced as the horse that was zooming up the rail but it got my attention as it started to happen and I told my dad 'whoever that horse is, watch that move from the back, they'll be talking about it tomorrow.'

I lost too but I am happy for connections of the horse. I didnt even look at this horse when handicapping the Derby. However, all I can see is Birdstone winning in the slop in New York.
