The Kentucky Derby is just 17 Days away and the jockeys are making their final decisions! Three-time Kentucky Derby winner Calvin Borel has picked up the mount on Louisiana Derby hero Revolutionary for the 139th Run for the Roses, it was announced Monday. Revolutionary represents the same connections -- WinStar Farm and trainer Todd Pletcher -- as Borel's most recent Derby winner, Super Saver, in 2010. The veteran rider first guided Street Sense to Derby glory in 2007 before springing the 50-1 upset aboard Mine That Bird in 2009. Borel takes over the mount from Javier Castellano, who opted to ride Normandy Invasion in the Kentucky Derby. Castellano had been two-for-two on Revolutionary, engineering his victories in both the February 2 Withers at Aqueduct and the March 30 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds.
