I just talked to a good friend of mine who said Calvin is the quietest jockey out there.Doesn't let anyone know he is coming.

Remind me never to listen to that show when they are talking about racing. I can't believe this type of nonsense like this is purported.

Thanks for the laugh.

1. Nafzger will probably take Borel off now in favor of a big name jock
2. Calvin Borel is the best jockey in the US
3. Street Sense will lose the Preakness because the race is shorter than the Derby
4. Street Sense will win the Preakness because the race is longer than the Derby
5. Mario Pino was to blame for Hard Spun losing because everyone knows you can't win the Derby wire to wire

I'm sure there were plenty more, but I started blocking everything out after awhile.

Mondays at the OTB.

What a place.

Do you think really they will give the TC to him by starting 4 or 5? Smarty had the fight of his life(besides his ride) against the vultures trying to pick him apart...ain't nothing free in this game. You maybe right but I just don't see it, 10+ in the gate. Who? Don't know, we have a month to find that out.

actually no, although it kind of looks like him...

he's a horse that is at the farm my girlfriend stables her horse, and every time I go there he gallops up to me and follows me around everywhere in the field... so this weekend I found out he was abandoned, so I've decided to adopt him, pay the board, etc. so he can stay there and have a nice life- I need to find a name for him!

did you catch the quote in the newspaper? caller: "Mike, I know you have a couple 2YO's" Mike: "I have SEVERAL horses"

It's good to be the king of your kingdom of one.

i don't even think he's a thoroughbred, doesn't have a lip tattoo... probably a QH/draft mix of some type... but he's the nicest guy and it would be criminal to let him go to "that place".
