After winning the Kentucky Derby, Calvin Borel is in demand--not just on track and at the Whitehouse, but in Hollywood. Unfortunately he turned down a recent request from Jay Leno to appear on the Tonight Show, favoring returning to a normal schedule of working horses and perhaps even mucking stalls for his brother Cecil.
Borel is such a wonderful asset for racing. He is incredibly likable and authentic, and his Cajun draw colored turns of phrase are always a delight to listen to. I hope he decides he can take some time to work the late night talk show circuit because it would be so good for the game. I can't imagine a better ambassador for racing.

I don't blame Borel but someone should tell him that racing is starved for coverage and that this would be really good press.
