Mine That Jockey


Even though he did not pull off the historic Rider's Triple Crown, I have to send some love out to Calvin Borel. If I were to describe Calvin in words that Calvin might use, I would say that he is as sweet as a sugar cookie pie cake, sir. Despite the fact that he got so much attention as a jockey in this Triple Crown season, when interviewed, he seemed to always put the focus on the horse as the competitor, and the one deserving the credit. I am no horse freak, but there is something so genuine about the way this dude talks about the relationship that he has with the hoofed community.

  1. He definitely connects with his horses. He really knows them. But I'm creeped out by his voice: the tone, word choice, gesticulations, and so on...
