“For all the great decisions he's made this spring, I'd really like to have seen Calvin Borel get some experience navigating Belmont's 12-furlong oval this week,” stated Jeremy Plonk of HorsePlayerPro.com about veteran jockey Calvin Borel in his Belmont Stakes column on ESPN titled Countdown to the Crown: June 4, 2009. “He's ridden only seven mounts there in his career, all losses, and will be trying to time a late-running move on MINE THAT BIRD over a track configuration that's unlike anything he rides on a daily basis. Experience never hurts, and he's taking off a few days at Churchill Downs anyway. Six of the last seven Belmont Stakes were won by locally based jockeys, with Jeremy Rose the lone out-of-towner. Rose won the '05 edition on the far-superior Afleet Alex.”
