AP: Todd Pletcher described Calvin Borel before the race yesterday. "I don't think I've ever had a jockey come to the paddock more focused," he said Sunday. "I would equate it to someone come out for a heavyweight fight. He was in the zone and pumped up. Didn't have much to say, but you could just see the intensity on his face. He was revved up."

"A lot of guys you look at and they're closest to the fence, but they're not on the rail," Pletcher said. "When he gets there, he's scraping paint."
