Jockey Calvin Borel hopes for Saturday return - KATV - Breaking News, Weather and Razorback Sports

HOT SPRINGS (KATV) - Jockey Calvin Borel has resumed exercising horses and hopes to continue his quest for career victory 5,000 on Saturday.

Borel, who fractured his wrist a few days before Oaklawn's opening January 11, is one win away from this historic milestone - something only 24 other riders have accomplished.

"Calvin got on horses this morning and says his wrist feels good," said his wife Lisa Borel. "There isn't any swelling. We'll see how it is in the morning, but his plan right now is to ride a few horses Saturday and Sunday and get back to riding fully the following week."

The commemorative trading cards produced by the city of Hot Springs honoring Borel's 5,000 wins will be distributed to all race fans in attendance at Oaklawn the day Borel gets the win.
