Who knew the Marathon would add all the spice to Ladies day at the BC.

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

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.

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.

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.

I asked before and no one responsed - did it or did it not look like Calvin gave Martin an assist in getting him back into his saddle when he became unseated.

What a schittee day of racing.

2 races later the police had to escort Calvin from the track to the jockey room right before he made it the tunnel, they (police) was restraining him again and he was pissed. I think it was due to; some patron said something vulgar towards him.

Javier Castallano is the one who threw the first punch...albeit after Borel was pointing his finger in his face and shouting at him.

If this happened in a football game ... Borel would not get flagged at all - and Javier would get a 15 yard personal foul and perhaps get ejected.
