Totally disagree. It might turn the pretty horsey people off, but they love Borel anyway. I've gotten two texts already from non racing fan friends asking about it and they are watching the races now.

Hockey fisticuffs come to TB horse racing. Could bring in more fans?!~

Personally, I found it ugly and upsetting.

Did Calvin give Martin an assist to help steady him when Martin came out of the saddle?

Shame about Prince Will - he's a nice horse.

It is a natural progression from midget wrestling.

Can someone post a link to the fight? I caught a glimpse of it on TSN but haven't been able to find it on Youtube yet.

JC is talented and improving IMO but he's also a dangerous punk at times. If he did sucker Borel he should get a suspension that fits the crime like BC days of some sort that would get the message across.
