I'm surprised they haven't reached out to Chantal to get back on him. She'd have won the Derby on him.

I kinda know what you mean.

Anyway... my favorite part of the piece was this...

“I hate to lose him,” Borel said Wednesday. “I wish he had been there for me a little more in that race. I’d like to get one more chance. Let them do what they want, they’ll come back around.”

~ Calvin

"I'm happy to lose him," MtB said Wednesday. I wish he had been there for me a little more in that race. Hopefully he doesn't get another chance. They came around."

When a trainer hustles a horse into his barn and that horse races worse than before you know the jock is going to take the blame.

Lukas said he's been putting MTB in blinkers since the Whitney, and he's supposedly training more forward now. I hope it actually does something more than complete the 'we don't know what else to do but change jockeys, trainers, and equipment' trifecta.

How's Asmussen feeling toward Calvin these days?
