Calvin Borel is an American
jockey in
thoroughbred horse racing. He has won three of the last four
Kentucky Derby races (
2007,
2009, and
2010). In 2009, he also won the
Preakness Stakes, but lost the
Belmont Stakes, the third race of the so-called
Triple Crown. His 2009 Derby win with
Mine That Bird was the second biggest upset in Derby history behind
Donerail, and Borel's winning margin of 6+3⁄4 lengths was the greatest in Derby history since
Assault won by 8 lengths in 1946.Photo:
