VIDEO: Jockeys Calvin Borel, Javier Castellano Fight At Breeders’ Cup

The Breeders’ Cup has kicked off in Louisville, where Calvin Borel, the most well-known jockey in horse racing today, saddled up across Javier Castellano. In a particularly aggressive maneuver, Castellano cut his horse, Prince Will I Am, across the path of the other horses.

↵Borel, who has won three of the last four Kentucky Derbies, took exception. With his fists. Here’s video:

↵It actually looks like after Borel got in Castellano’s face, it was Castellano who threw the first punch. This is the first jockey fight I can remember seeing; from the comfort of my desk, I think it’s kind of a pity that they didn’t attempt to fight while still mounted. Road Rash on horseback is one video game I would love to play.
