Also famous as ‘Bo-Rail', Calvin Borel has often been the apple of everyone's eyes who have lusted a fantabulous win at the most prominent and money making thoroughbred races. Known to have more than 4900 race winnings under his belt and still going strong, a career like Borel's, is a living dream. Aged 44, this racing star boasts of a silver jubilee racing experience and is still exhibiting exemplary performances; never to forget he started racing in matches right when he wasn't older than eight years of age. And having wonderfully surpassed the 1000 wins marker at Churchill Downs alone originally set by Pat Day, Calvin Borel is the only second jockey to have accomplished the count and outnumbered it as well.
Calvin Borel is a name synonymous with the rail-hugging racing style that comes along with plenty of risks and injury dangers. The jockey has brought to his winning trail numerous wins following the same pattern, running a majority part of the race on this ground saving strategy along the rail eventually emerging successful. The most remarkable rail hugging feat happened when Calvin Borel rode the 50-1 long shot Mine That Bird who he rode from the pack's dead end to the wire victory; the 135th Kentucky Derby came to be remembered as one of the most memorable Calvin Borel signature racing events.
