They don't call him Bo-rail for nothing. Calvin Borel grabbed the rails and didn't let go Saturday, sloshing through the slop on another flawless ride to win his third Kentucky Derby in four years. The most wide-open Derby in years ended with a sure thing - Borel crossing the finish line and punching the air with this right fist, raising it toward the gray sky. The jockey's magic touch on his home track gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first Derby victory after 24 failures. And with the two-and-a-half length victory in the 11th race of the day, Super saver became the new Derby star. “I’ve been very blessed. I’ve had horses at the right time,” Borel said after the race on NBC. “Last race, I finally got him off the pace and he relaxed well. So I knew I could take him back a little bit. You know what? I’m going to win the Triple Crown this year!” And what did Calvin do after winning the Kentucky Derby? Did he go to Disney World? Did he pop the cork on a magnum of brut? No. Calvin’s a true professional; so he changed his silks, saddled up, and rode another mount in the 12th race on Saturday. What a guy! Running Past The Favourites From the No. 4 post position, Super Saver broke alertly and avoided any trouble there, then settled in behind the leaders to run sixth at the rail through the first quarter-mile. “I had him where I wanted,” Borel told NBC Sports while riding to the winner's circle. Borel and Super Saver avoided the heated pace set by Conveyance and Sidney's Candy, who sprinted from the No. 20 post through the first quarter-mile to get in position behind Conveyance in a field heavy on early speed. “They were going too fast,” Conveyance trainer Bob Baffert said. Super Saver maintained his position on the rail until the far turn, where Borel steered him around the tiring Conveyance and to the inside of Noble's Promise, who had gained the lead at the quarter pole. Borel whipped the colt through the stretch to win by 2½ lengths in 2:04.45, the slowest time since Sunday Silence's 2:05 in 1989. The first six furlongs clicked along briskly: 22.63 for the first quarter-mile, 23.53 for the second (a half in 46.16) and 24.42 for the third (1:10.58 for six furlongs). From there the pace fell apart. The last two quarters went in 27.07 (a mile in 1:37.65) and 26.80. The fractions appeared to help the closers, as the horses that raced 18th to 20th through the first six furlongs all finished in the top six. Arguably the most hardened closer in the field, Ice Box was forced to try to repeat his come-from-behind victory in the Florida Derby but fell short, finishing second after a troubled trip where he lost momentum repeatedly.

Ice Box then settled into 19th from there until beginning to advance leaving the backstretch. He made a powerful move from the rail to the far outside as he passed 13 horses through the final quarter-mile — despite losing momentum again behind a wall of horses — to get a neck past Paddy O'Prado at the finish. The weather conditions favoured the Super Saver and the Lookin at (Un)Lucky didn’t like the weather conditions.
