Default Calvin Borel DUI

I really hated to read this...especially that he was behind the wheel and blew near .2 for alcohol..Very dangerous to himself not to mention others. Needs to get some help...unfortunately, most substance abusers do not

Help is out there. All you have to do is ask. Glad I did 6000 days ago. Haven’t touched a drop since.

Very sad to see that. So many memories and I hope He recovers well. He is 52 years old and looks older than his years. I would hope that the industry would support and help. No more Garret Gomez, Michael Baze or Chris Antley for me.

Personally I think he has the personality for TV in some fashion. As for being a jockey, "He's done enough"
