CALVIN BOREL POPPED FOR DUI...BILL CLAIMS INNOCENCE.
Ace Thoroughbred jockey Calvin Borel was taken down by "the man" Saturday night near Ellis Park Racetrack while on his way back to the hotel after a night of beer and bowling.
Was in Evansville, a town that is known for pretty strict law enforcement, on Hwy 41...the swath that di-sects the city into East Side/West Side (with all the money on the East Side ).
Cops sez he was "cutting too abruptly while changing lanes." For Christ sakes, hadn't the office ever seen Borel ride? His patented "cut to the rail" maneuvers on the race track have been around for years.
The three time Kentucky Derby Winner (Street Sense, Mine the Bird, Super Saver) was barely over the legal limit of .08 in Indiana, according to his wife and jockey agent . How many cold frosties does it take to get a wee-man like Calvin to .08? Two, maybe?
Bill the Goat, a known associate of Calvin's on the backstretch at Churchill Downs and avid bowler, denies any involvement in the activities Saturday evening that got Calvin blotto.
"Bill is currently housed in the West Wing of the Kentucky Exposition Center at the Kentucky State Fair and will be till next Sunday." press spokesman Tommy Boy related to local media outlets. "He has asked me to share his concerns and worries over the Borel arrest by stating that 'even Bill knows...too much to drink means you don't drive'. It is rumored that Bill was spotted at Executive Bowl (on the outskirts on the K.E.C.) late Saturday night..but he was dumpster-diving alone.
(In other news, Pat Valenzuela shaved all the hair off his body again to avoid DNA drug sample testing.)
