Drug test him
You ever almost been dropped going over 40? Looks like Castellano took the first swing. Martin Garcia is a legend.Originally Posted by AnyGivenSaturday

yes he should.
That was beyond childish. His mount was affected a bit by the race incident but not NEAR as much as the other horse. Martin Garcia didn't even confront Javier like that and HE was the one who almost fell off. Javier wasn't even the one to confront Calvin, Calvin went after him.
Not only that, but Calvin wouldn't stop being ridiculous and even when Javier calmed down he kept trying to fight him. ON LIVE TV. He looked like a 16 year old HIGH SCHOOL boy trying to pick a fight after class.

Calvins mount was affected, he went to have a word and Castellano gave him a smack...you don't tug on Supermans cape in his house.

yeah calvin ain't the guy you go up to and think you are going to hit and get away with lol.
I have lost every bit of respect i had for Javier. no only did he give a horrible ride, he takes a swing at a guy for trying to confront him about it.
He got suckerpunched, even though it looked otherwise

The act of an ignorant man. Calvin should be sent to jail. That is what is called assault.
Your don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.....RZ
Not defending all that Calvin did, but look at the replays again. ESPN has an angle that shows Calvin's mount was significantly affected too. It wasn't as dramatic as Martin, but he was seriously impeded.

On TV, looked like Borel threw the first punch. It would explain why he was so pissed off if Castellano was the one that went after him.
the TV had just cut to them when borel throught eh punch, on replay javier got the first jab him.
borel never should have went tot he winners circle, but javier through the first punch. after almost dismounting 2 jocks.
He had to go to the winners circle to talk to the stewards and to weigh in after the race.
I disagree.
Sometimes frontier justice --- in any sport --- is the way to go.
Racing authorities will suspend Castellano for 15 days, but that is not enough when jockeys could have been seriously hurt or killed. Sometimes getting in a guy's face and letting him know the next time he does something dangerous, you will punch his face in is the only effective deterrent.
Castellano is the one who should be suspended for six months, not Borel.
The whole thing was kind of ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it (in racing). Now my inbox is being flooded with texts about it haha

Yeah, well then arrest Castellano for assault with a deadly weapon (a horse).
13 races to go . now that's how you start the breeders cup off with a punch!
Turn the page.
There's more racing to do. They can box later.
Also, did anyone actually see how close Borel and certainly Garcia were to going down? Surely this has something to do with he fact that the idiotic move impaired the horses race-wise, but knowing Borel's rep as a good guy, I am positive part of this was because he was pissed that Javier did something that could have KILLED them. Seriously, I know it was a bad move by Borel, but Javier needed to crap bat out of him for what happened. Nothing to do with a win, more to do with how much danger he put multiple people in.
And listening to some big out a' town jasper, hearing him tell about horse-race gamblin'.
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on a horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch?
Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!
I've seen a lot of bad near spills. We all have. I find it ridiculous that either took it in their own hands to fix it; what actually happened/caused it to happen remains to be unseen so I'll not comment too much.
They were both stupid. I'd slap fines/suspensions on both of them. I sincerely doubt either is faultless.
