They call him Bo-Rail and he won the Derby a couple of years ago on a weaving ride off the rail on Street Sense. Yesterday he won the Kentucky Oaks and today the Kentucky Derby--on the rail. From near last to a commanding win aboard the $10,000 horse Mine That Bird (who has Belmont and Derby winners in his bloodline) but nobody thought the horse was much (he comes out of Canada for goodness sakes) and he went off at 50-1.
He bested million dollar horses owned by sheiks and the cream of the horse racing establishment.
How much does the jockey matter? A lot.
