The thing I love about Calvin is that, like most of the other Cajun jocks, most seem to be horsemen. They've been race-riding since they were kids, they know how to figure out the horses mentally, pay attention to it, use it to their advantage.

Calvin is certainly in a league of his own at CD, I finally hit the Derby this year and he was the only reason I went with SS. Coming out of the #4 hole isn't the easiest trip but he handled the horse to perfection. Don't see this horse as good enough to end the TC drought but with Calvin he has a slight chance!

Riding the rail is tough because you have no way out. If you go to loop the field from the oustide you can always go wider if neccessary. When your on the rail if a horse drops down to the rail your stuck. Horses arent like cars... if you break stride in the stretch 99% of the time you don't win.

So you're belittling him and talking down his achievements. You're just too dumb to know it.

Stick to the politics thread, wench.

You can't be this big a moron. I was obviously complimenting Borel for being a skilled horseman.

And for the adults here, Borel clearly used earlier races to assess the rail. Anybody who watches him knows he's not a rail-only rider. He's just braver than most when he commits to that path.

You are the worst poster in DT history. You make PG look like Stephen Hawking.

One would think a person of average intelligence would just ignore or delete posts or posters they didn't like on a message board.

You constantly reveal yourself for exactly what you are, Coach

You're a bitter old cow who is a failure in life and blames it on racism and living in the Lexington area when the reality is you're just a delusional narcissist who isn't good at her profession. That's why no one has heard of you. Not because of what you look like. It's because of what you are. You are nothing more than human garbage.

Keep hanging on at Keeneland sales pretending to be something you'll never be.

You have mental problems, don't you?

I've not said that. What I have said is that you're nothing but an unintelligent little pissant. Go away and bother someone else, little man.
