Calvin Borel
GOAT? Maybe not, but dam.
How do they continue to let him ride the rail like this? You could make a living, A LIVING BETTING HIM AT CHURCHILL.

Calvin just said he is winning the TRIPLE CROWN ON THIS HORSE.
What a legend.

Do you think Todd will give him some horses to ride in New York after Super Saver is done?
Todd was a smart man putting Calvin on his slop horse and Calvin did what he does every day. The only way Super Saver could of lost today was if Todd put Gomez in the saddle.

I didn't give this horse much consideration partly because I thought most were betting the jockey. Well, I'm fooled again. Good for him and Pletcher. I take my hat off to both of them. Calvin can ride this track.

The years I've seen Calvin at TOGA, he has not done well - at all. Best race last year was RAITCH. Other than that, I think he only won one other race.
He better not dismiss Ice Box in the Preakness. That was one hell of a race for that horse. Problem is, it may have taken a lot out of him because he was checked so many times and probably ran a furlong more to get to the 2nd place finish. Nonetheless, a very game horse and a masterful ride by Jose.

earliest pick for next years derby--whoever Borel is riding is the obvious pick. Either hes the greatest jock when it comes to CD or everyone else is afraid to go near him or his horse or the rail in the races hes in.

Calvin could easily win 2 more. If he gets 5 then there is absolutely no way you can't say he's one of the best jockeys of all time.

wonder if he has his agent book him at belmont for some rides, unlike last year? he's seemingly a go to jock on big days. and it's not just churchill, he kicks butt at oaklawn as well.

actually, i don't think it's the horse. the owner has said he wants her to settle more early-yeah, cause that was such a bad tactic for her last year.

I breezed through the NBC telecast and I thought I heard Pletcher say something to the extent of Calvin is a great jockey at other tracks as well, but he is 5 lengths better then everone else at Churchill.
