The great part of the Saratoga experience is the access and freedom fans have to horses, trainers, jockeys and other personalities throughout the horse industry. And five or ten idiots had to finish a great racing weekend by telling Calvin Borel what he should or shouldn't have done

LEARN THE GAME BEFORE YOU SPEAK!

1. Are you 12?

2. Why is Rachel is quotations?

3. I was a little surprised by the uneducated fans bit... I'd have thought it was more the diehards who would yell at him.

4. It's called passion. There is so much passion in this sport we all love. Easy for me to say it's a good thing since I've never been yelled at by random people but come on... it happens. I (am no fan of Calvins but) would never do it and I presume you wouldn't but the reality is that it happens and the jocks can take it. It must suck and everything but they know to expect it.
