Resident: Louisville, Ky.

Family: Single; fiancee Lisa Funk

Through Dec. 31, 2006 was ranked 30th nationally with earnings of $6,453,908.

Through Dec. 31, 2006 had 139 wins from 973 starts.

Won his first Breeders' Cup race in 2006 with his only mount of the day, Street Sense. The two paired up to take the Juvenile. They went on to victory in the 2007 running of the Kentucky Derby, making Street Sense the first dual Juvenile/Derby winner in the Breeders' Cup's 23-year history.

Top mounts in 2006 have included Seek Gold (G1 Stephen Foster Handicap), Suave (G2 Washington Park Handicap), Court Folly (G2 Amsterdam Stakes), Ermine (Honeybee Stakes), Dash of Humor (Kentucky Cup Ladies Turf) and More Than Pretty (Open Mind Stakes).

Major races won: Rockamundo (108-1) in the 1993 Arkansas Derby and wins with Free Spirit's Joy (1991 Super Derby), K One King (2000 Oaklawn H) and the 2006 Stephen Foster with Seek Gold. He also won the 1997 and 2001 editions of the Apple Blossom H with Halo America and Gourmet Girl, respectively.

Began riding match races in his home state at age eight before launching his professional career at 16 ... "All I ever wanted to be was a jockey. A lot of kids make plans to be firemen, cowboys or astronauts, but I knew by eight that I wanted to ride races."

Known for his work ethic and often gallops and does stable chores for his brother, trainer Cecil Borel, before working horses in the morning even while ranking a leading rider. Still helps out his brother when they are both at Oaklawn Park during the winter.

Rides mostly the Kentucky-Arkansas-Louisiana circuit. Has won titles in all three states, most notably at Oaklawn Park where he won the championship in 1995, dethroning Pat Day, who had won every meet since 1982.

Oaklawn Park was the site of his 3,000th and 4,000th winners. Became 45th rider in North America to reach the latter milestone on Feb. 16, 2005.

Often dubbed “Bo-Rail” for his penchant for hugging the rail en route to victory.

In the hunt for leading jockey at 2006 Churchill Downs Fall meet when he broke his wrist in a Thanksgiving day mishap and missed over a month in the saddle.

Answer 2

Ill tell you what, most horseplayers who played the breeders cup last year knew that Borel booted home a number of high priced winners at Churchill the two weeks before he got this horse home in the Juvenile... with the same type of move, saving ground then firing late... there were three he rode the week of breeders cup and a 75 dollar winner the day before, winning by daylight , same exact move...its cool to see he got that horse back 'at the scene of the crime' (the same track) and that he did so well (especially since a number of jocks called to try to get the mount from under Calvin) ...it appears the last prep race running second was perfect for a set up into the Derby and if he moves forward off that race he will be tough, as will the second place finisher Hard Spun who ran a smasher, tipped off by the 57 work he fired off prior to the race... try wikipedia google or yahoo itself for borel resources...good luck
