He’s a longshot, but bettors are seriously looking at Schoolyard Dreams as one of the horses that could beat Super Saver. In fact, he has.

All Hail Super Saver, and Super “Jockey” Calvin Borel, Kentucky Derby Winners

Well, I shouldn’t have been surprised. The 136th Run for the Roses ended with jockey Calvin Borel winning AGAIN, the third time in the past four years. This time, on Super Saver.
