Even Calvin's wife was giving him a ration of it to calm himself down.

Calvin proved himself to be a hot headed punk today. I think his future as a jockey is very much in jeopardy.
This incident will have ZERO bearing on his future as a jockey. Things like this happen everyday. This unfortunately was played out on national TV. Tomorrow there will be a new crisis and everybody will move on.

I value your opinion (check your PM's). But Calvin's career outside of Churchill needs a major shot in the arm and the incident today won't help.
