Hey Calvin, Why didn't you give us the Derby winner?

You gotta hand it to these jockeys, boy, they just know exactly what's going to happen, don't they? Hey wait a minute! If they know who's gonna win before they run the race, doesn't that means something's wrong? Let's face it, if the jockey says he's going to win and wins, wouldn't you think something's fishy? I am not saying I would, but others might. Who those others are I cannot say, but I am not one of them. That leads me to Calvin Borel. He's 1-for-1 on giving out winners of Triple Crown races: Correct Calvin gave everyone a head's up that he was gonna win the Preakness aboard Rachel Alexandra _ and that was why he was getting off Mine That Bird, the horse he won the Kentucky Derby on just two weeks prior to the Preakness So he's 1-for-1 and now he's looking at 2-for-2. For whatever reason, lovable Calvin had this to say to reporters after jumping off Mine That Bird (oh, did I mention he's back on Mine That Bird for the Belmont because Rachel Alexandra isn't running in it?) following a final workout Monday morning at Churchill Downs: ``We're going to win it, no questions asked." OK, so let's bet on Calvin again. If you believed him before the Preakness and bet $2 on the filly to win, you collected $5.60 -- that's $3.60 profit. Do the math for a $100 win bet (it's $280, for a profit of $180); and so forth ... And if you didn't believe Calvin and bet a $2 exacta box on the Derby winner and the filly), the payoff was $19.60 (for a $4 investment); again do the math. I'm not good at math. Works out pretty good for a can't miss bet, don't you think? OK. Mine That Bird will be the heavy favorite to win the Belmont, and won't pay too much when (if - lol) he does win, but having a winner is better than not having a winner. But Calvin, where were you before the Derby, damn it? Why didn't you tell us you were sitting on one of the greatest winning runs in Derby history, one that returned a mind-numbing $103.20 on a $2 win ticket (do your own math, it makes me sick even thinking about it). Place was worth $54 and show $25.80, and a $2 exacta, with one of the favorites Pioneerof the Nile finishing second, paid $2,074. (In the photo up above, Calvin's probably telling Mine That Bird trainer Chip Woolley after the Derby, `Aren't you glad I didn't open my mouth?')
