Not much...at "Flyweight", you could hardly expect a knockout.  "Poor Calvin"....this is just another chapter in a book waiting to be written about a future Hall of Famer.  He's merely one of those people who finds themselves in the right place at the right time.

Borel is a fierce competitor , smart jockey , good guy who loves horses and a great horseman .

I am not surprised at all that he went after Castellano .

 Castellano is also a competitor . However,the move he made was stupid , dangerous and it showed poor judgement on his behave . 

He endangered every jockey and horse on that track .


Did he do it on purpose or did he just get caught up in the race which clouded his judgement , only he knows .

The stewards will sort it out and hopefully in the future better judgement, concern and respect for the fellow jockeys and the horses will be shown by Castellano .
