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.
