 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Jockey Calvin Borel's nickname is "Bo-rail," a moniker he earned by hugging the fence whenever he gets a chance. His logic for doing so is flawless: "It's the shortest way around the track."
On Saturday, "Bo-rail" followed his instincts to the biggest victory of his career, moving Street Sense from next-to-last like an accelerating locomotive to win the Kentucky Derby.
As the field turned for home, the colt blew past one horse after another on the rail, then went wide to squeeze past Hard Spun, his final challenger.
