Horses and Jockeys Headed To Track; Borel Ready To Go?

The horses and their jockeys are all walking to the track now. It is of the utmost importance that the jockeys are able to keep their horses calm and rested prior to the race. As the procession makes its way to the track, some of the horses are visibly irritated. The Belmont is one and a half miles long, and the horses are going to need every ounce of their energy for the long race. The jockeys and trainers have their work cut out right now, trying their best to make their horses save their energy.

On another note, Calvin Borel has said that he has done little work in the past week. Some commentators take this as a bad omen for Mine That Bird's chances to win. Mine That Bird does look a little wound up, as he walks to the track.

Less than half an hour to race time!
