Calvin Borel (and I guess Street Sense) wins the Derby

[ArlJim78]

I don't think a riders job in the Kentucky Derby is to seal off the rail to prevent a particular horse from winning. They're supposed to try to win with their mounts.

The best horse won by making his own path and by being faster than this bunch.

When he was called 19th I gave him no shot of winning. Great ride on great horse and I'm happy for Nafzger and Borel.

it was a great ride. no panic from borel, he knew the pace was fast. he found his spot and worked the rail as the race unfolded.

calvin borel is almost as smart as i am and as you all know, that is saying a lot.

Hard Spun is a hell of a horse... I was very impressed with how long he lasted after pretty much setting the pace.
