I am way tired of Borel, the celebratory gestures at the 1/8th pole, the post race crying jags, etc.
Has anyone ever gotten this much mileage out of being an illiterate?
In my mind currently the most overrated rider in Racing.
I will give the guy credit for his accomplishments, but in my opinion there are
3 riders laboring in relative obscurity (meaning they haven\'t been high profile
in Triple Crown races) who are much more talented than Bo-rail: (in no
particular order Leparoux, Bejarano, Dominquez).
