Although there will not be a Triple Crown winner this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a Triple Crown jockey. In this Saturday’s 2009 Belmont Stakes race, Calvin Borel will attempt to become the first jockey to win all three Triple Crown races all with different horses.
Borel will be riding the 2009 Belmont Stakes Sports Odds favorite, Mine That Bird, for the second time this season. Borel and Mine That Bird teamed up to capture the 2009 Kentucky Derby title, despite going in as huge 50/1 Betting Odds underdogs.
“This is a lot different than when I arrived at Churchill Downs,” stated Mine That Bird trainer Chip Woolley. “Nobody even came to see me for the first week.”
In the Preakness Stakes, Borel decided to ride the filly Rachel Alexandra, and captured the Preakness Stakes title in dominating fashion. Can Borel and Mine That Bird team up again to win the 1½-mile Belmont and make history? You’re just going to have to tune in and find out.
