I’d pondered whether or not a jockey had ever won the Triple Crown when riding different horses. As it turns out, if the radio station I listened to on my return trip from getting my hair cut is correct, no. This has never happened.

Today, there’s a chance that it could come to pass. Calvin Borel, riding Derby winner Mine that Bird, rides the Derby winner again in today’s Belmont Stakes.

Much as I’d like to see a four legged Triple Crown winner, I’ll settle for one that walks on two. Especially since I picked Calvin’s mounts in my last live track outing¹, and they did fine by me.
