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.
He’s a rip.
The first time I ever saw him was right after his first win, and I thought, who is that guy. He has ten loads of personality.
The second thought was, what country is he from? He certainly has only a passing acquaintance with English. (He’s from Louisiana).
He seems a genuinely nice guy.
