Jockeys Fight at Churchill Downs After Breeders' Cup Marathon

Now here's something you don't see every day.  This past weekend, Churchill Downs held this year's Breeders' Cup, one of the most prestigious events in thoroughbred racing.  On Friday night, however, the winner's circle turned into the center of an ugly skirmish between two jockeys after the first race

Click here for ESPN coverage of the fight via Youtube, which was between jockeys Calvin Borel and Javier Castellano.  Borel gets into Castellano's face, and it looks like Castellano throws the first punch.  Borel clearly had fire in his eyes afterwards as he had to be restrained and walked off by security.  Probably not the image he wanted to project for himself on national TV.
