Yes, Borel did a wonderful job in the Derby. You have to not only consider the tactics in the race, but the workout he put into the horse as part of that package. DoC maybe isn't best at 10f, but that running style with Borel allowed them to get 3rd or 4th.
It matters much less in the Belmont. I don't see a huge advantage either way between Robby and Calvin in the Belmont, although the switch looks abrupt from my perspective.
