The filly is great but it's a matter of principle. Has any jockey in history come off a horse by choice who was alive for TC? Borel will live to regret this no matter how many he wins with RA. Cheap shot by him, but i know it's a business, but TC try means more to me than riding a Super Filly. He may never get another shot @ TC and besides, those two derby rides he won i think he's no better than many other jockeys. Calvin Borel no class and a sell-out imo.

lol
he sells out the bird people? he got them a derby win. gimme a break. why should he stay on a horse because he lucked out and won, knowing the chances of him repeating that performance while the rest of fields tanks again are incredibly slim?
live for the tc....
