First Winner Circle

Taken after the first race on the first day of racing at Churchill Downs in the 2010 Spring Meet, Hall of Fame Jockey, Calvin Borel celebrates in the winner’s circle with a young girl in a princess dress.

The following week, Borel rode Super Saver to victory in the Kentucky Derby making him the first jockey to win three Derbies in four years. Lots of firsts here including my first winner’s circle image. I later learned that Calvin and I share the same birthday of November 7th
