Calvin Borel Wins the Kentucky Derby

In one of the biggest upsets in the race’s history, Calvin Borel rode Mine That Bird past the finish line first to be the 2009 Kentucky Derby winner.

Mine That Bird, trained by Bennie Woolley Jr. entered the race at 50 to 1 odds, and was fancied by no one to win the race. Instead, it was a resounding win, with Mine That Bird winning by nearly seven lengths, the biggest winning length since 1946. The payout of $103.20 to win(for $1) was the second-largest payout in Derby history, and the biggest since 1913.

Calvin Borel was born a day before an exact Saturn(in Pisces)-180-Uranus(in Virgo), and five days before a total solar eclipse(20 Scorpio). The current opposition between these same planets, is a mirror image of the 1966 aspect, with Saturn now in Virgo, and Uranus in Pisces.

What's amazing is that Calvin Borel's pre-natal lunar eclipse(5 Taurus 32), was just conjoined by the April 24 New Moon at 5 Taurus 04. And the competitive, red planet of sports, Mars- was aspecting the angles of this eclipse chart, as he rode to a spectacular victory in Sunday's contest.

The chart for Calvin Borel's post-natal eclipse(11/12/66), was triggered by a Uranus transit, as he shocked, upset, and surprised the field with a sudden burst through traffic along the rail. Fittingly- his nickname around the Churchill Downs track community is Calvin 'Bo-rail', because of his rail-hugging strategy that wins races.
