    Calvin Borel at Churchill

    Why does he suck at churchill? He is 3rd in mounts this meet and 6th in wins.... Can he not get a good horse, or what? Washed up? I always liked to put him in no matter what when I went, now it seems like a waste to even look at him most races..

    he never was outstanding. he had a tendency to get to the rail and had moderate success coming up it. seems to have lost his edge even there recently. getting old, trainers looking elsewhere for the most part. overbet usually. meet ending anyway.

    going to be there friday.... seems like pat day towards his end. he could be on a saw horse and be bet down to 2-1. just seems like he should have had more success IMO....

    day was a notch above borel. but yes, similar career declining trend. it's really about the trainers giving the jocks the good horses to ride. leparoux gets the good ones now from the kentucky conditioners.

    Jockeys are only as good as the mounts that they get. Period.
