Calvin Borel is awesome; Come out to Happy Hour at Churchill Downs

Yesterday two-time Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Calvin Borel became just the fourth rider to win 900 races at Churchill Downs as he guided War Eagle Lady to a 14 3/4-length victory in the sixth race.

“I hope this is the start to a great weekend,” said Borel, who will ride Kentucky Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra in tomorrow’s 134th running of the Preakness Stakes. Check here for my predictions.

Only Pat Day (2,482 wins), Don Brumfield (925) and Larry Melancon (907) have won more races at Churchill than Borel.

Come on out to Churchill this evening and enjoy Friday Happy Hours from 4:00-7:00pm ET. You can get you a tasty hot dog for just $2. How about a delicious Budweiser? $2. Or maybe you would prefer a trip to Margaritaville? Margaritas = $3.

Also for all the local yumps out there, you should dress to impress as each week, one finely dressed female will be named “most stylish” and win a $250 gift card to one of several Louisville-area boutiques!

Come on out and join the Pinkie squad at the track!!! First post is at 2:45pm ET and you can check all the entrants here.
