I guess Borel must be from the Hispanic part of Cajun country...

I love how it says "At this point we don't have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself"

1) unidentified man
2) case under investigation
3) no one in custody

He turns up dead in a Churchill barn less than 12 hours after the Derby and no one seems to know why he was there? Does CD have any backstretch security of did some non racing related cinco de mayo party just randomly crash into the post Derby festivities on the backstretch?

Immediatley after the derby thousands of people show up to clean up the track. Most appear to be doing it as a fundraiser for different organizations etc.... But often times for events like this homeless shelters, people at probationary group homes and people who need to show work to stay out of jail are used. Sometimes people break away from the pack and get into trouble, usually with each other. It is hard to watch this many volunteers over a space the size of CD.
