Doubtful that he would have sent Mine That Bird through the hole that Calvin did.

i can't disagree with that, but are you 100% certain that if the kid did everything that borel did up to the point in the race when the hole on the rail opened after the final turn and the kid went to the outside instead, explain to me how he couldn't have swung outside of MM and still not won by at least 2 or 3 lengths. Are we to believe that by hitting that hole and going up the rail borel moved that horse up 7 lengths???
