Default Churchill murder investigation

They're saying it's an unidentified male but I'm pretty sure it's my bankroll..

I just heard that the victim is related to Calvin Borel. There may be a bigger story here. Let's see, Borel rode the horse with the Illinois connections, Illinois is the center of corruption in the US. Now one of his relatives gets whacked. Very curious. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Hmmmmm?

I guess Borel must be from the Hispanic part of Cajun country...

I love how it says "At this point we don't have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself"

1) unidentified man
2) case under investigation
3) no one in custody

He turns up dead in a Churchill barn less than 12 hours after the Derby and no one seems to know why he was there? Does CD have any backstretch security of did some non racing related cinco de mayo party just randomly crash into the post Derby festivities on the backstretch?

Immediatley after the derby thousands of people show up to clean up the track. Most appear to be doing it as a fundraiser for different organizations etc.... But often times for events like this homeless shelters, people at probationary group homes and people who need to show work to stay out of jail are used. Sometimes people break away from the pack and get into trouble, usually with each other. It is hard to watch this many volunteers over a space the size of CD.

Poor fellow was a groom for Cecil Borel.

Long article on CNN website today with updates

http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/justic...son/index.html

Louisville, Kentucky (CNN) -- Wilson Perez believes his father's killer is one of the hundreds of stable workers who live and care for horses in an area known as the "backside" of the Churchill Downs horse racing grounds.

"I imagine he's wandering around here," Wilson Perez told CNN during an exclusive interview near the barn where his father's body was found. "It has to be someone who lives here because no one else can come in."
