Calvin Borel appreciation thread

[ateamstupid]

This dude has got some serious coconuts. Could've been cut off at any time in the BCJ, still took the chance, could've been shut down at any time in the Derby, still took the chance. One part balls, one part luck, and you've got a jockey I'd put on my horse.

And that horse he's on is pretty good too.

At CD Calvin is the man......no doubt for those that blindly played his mounts Friday and Saturday....things worked out just fine!!!

I have my doubts about Baltimore though....

Those CD numbers that DrugS gave us on Calvin the other day are almost insane. I read them twice to make sure I got them right.
The race on Saturday demonstrated again what an amazing rider he is. What other jock would have attempted that ride from the 7-hole? He had to get a bit lucky to be sure......but it takes a skilled rider to take advantage of the luck he gets.

He's having din din with the Queen and G.W in a few days. I wish he would wear a helmet cam for that!
