Is Borel shut out of the Derby?

[lemoncrush]

No offense to Calvin, because he obviously rode superbly and moved Mine that bird and Denis of Cork way, way up on those days.

But with Street Sense, he was not only on the best horse that day (apologies to Curlin), but he got about as lucky as you could possibly get with the way the holes opened up for him when the real running started.

Maybe he'll revert back to his old self at Churchill, but I would rather have several other jocks on my horse than him, judging by the way he's been riding lately.

I think he single-handily cost Elite Alex any chance to win in the Southwest and Louisiana Derby, and I shook my head other times watching him during the Oaklawn meet, as well.
