Just like last year, Borel saved ground throughout the 136th Kentucky Derby along the inside.

Just like 2009, Borel passed exactly one horse on the outside.

Because Super Saver laid far closer to the front than Mine That Bird, there wasn't quite as dramatic a late charge.

Otherwise, the trip into Derby lore for the jockey who learned his trade from his older brother, the trainer Cecil Borel, was remarkably the same.

Score another one for Calvin "Bo-Rail."

"It's the shortest way around," Borel said afterward of his penchant for winning from the inside, "just like my brother always said."

A great win by Calvin Borel, Todd Pletcher, and Super Saver.

If there is such a thing as a Kentucky Derby ping list or a "horse person" ping list, etc., please feel free to ping those folks to this thread.

I find this fellow, Calvin Borel, quite a pleasant guy. Post # 5 includes a nice little story about him from three years ago.

Thank you for the ping...While I don't think I deserve to be called a "horse person", that doesn't mean I don't feel like one when I am on on the back of a horse...:)
