Calvin: Do you ever feel badly about the end of Rachel's career and the choices that were made for her? What would you change if you could?

To Gary Galdieri. Thanks so much for telling me about the jockey in Casey's Shadow. Hasn't Randy Romero been nominated for Hall of Fame?

Sorry, Calvin, this is supposed to be about you, I wish you and Mind that Bird all the best in the Belmont. I will be cheering at the top of my lungs for you!

To Barbara Mc: Casey's Shadow was about retired jockey Randy Romero. Great story, great movie. Walter Matthau plays Randy's father, a broken down horse trainer who wins the All-American quarter horse Futurity.

I don't have a question. I just want to tell you how much I enjoy watching you ride and win a race. I am not a regular racing fan. But, I remember you when you won on Street Sense. You won my heart! Then, I watched you on Rachel Alexandra in the Oaks. WOW!

AMAZING!!! Then you came out of nowhere with Mine That Bird in the Derby. I love your joy when you win. Never lose that enthusiasm. I love it!!!!

My dad used to break horses but I never had any interest in horse racing til' I saw you on May 2nd and on Leno. Your life story is amazing and you have to tell your story... a book, a movie... I am a writer/ HS teacher and I work in the inner-city and would read it, or show it to every class.

Calvin, you're what the backside is all about. You and the horses. That's what makes all of us come back year after year and work so hard--because of people like you and the Thoroughbreds--you're all heart! Been in the biz 50 years and wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks cdw, it has been corrected in the transcript.

Great interview; Calvin is such a class act.

FYI: in the transcript portion for the cajun food question, the word listed as inaudible is really "boudin"- a cajun sausage.

The book on Calvin is already out, and he's on the cover. It's called "Cajun Racing: From the Bush Tracks to the Triple Crown," and I wrote it.
