He doesn't have to go in right now though, is the thing.

Winning 3 Kentucky Derbies and 1 Preakness does not make one a Hall of Fame Candidate. Borel's overall resume does not warrant Hall of Fame inclusion. Buying your illogical argument, Jim Leyritz should get into the Hall of Fame because he had some big hits that helped the Yankees win a world series or Bobby Nystrom should get into the Hall of Fame because he scored the winning goal to start the Islanders dynasty. I agree that no one should be considered before they retire, but I stand behind what I said, considering his overall resume, Borel even being considered is laughable.
Go bet Borel in the Derby regardless of what horse he is on, cheer that he is best jockey ever, hope he has a ground saving trip and the seas part for him to make his rail run. GO BO-RAIL!
