I walked with Calvin Borel after he ran third in the Forego with Ready's Echo and he seemed relaxed, ready for Rachel Alexandra's big race, the Woodward which is just moments away.
I asked him for a quick though about the race.
"I am ready and looking forward to it," Borel said. "She is ready to run."
He then sprinted back to the jocks room to change his silks and climb aboard the big filly.
My love of horse racing started when I was a kid watching racing at Aqueduct and Belmont in New York. I then moved my tack to Louisville to attend the University of Louisville's Equine Administration program. While finishing up my degree in 1996, I began an internship at Churchill Downs and landed a full-time job there upon graduation in 1997. While rounding the final turn of my Churchill tenure (ok, 2003), I began co-hosting the Kentucky Winners Circle Radio Show with E.J. Clark (for those in Louisville: Saturdays, 11am, WKJK-1080 on your AM dial).
I moved back to New York in November 2004 but my love of racing has endured. I still co-host the radio show and attend the races frequently.
