I watched the race and the fight several times from different prospective.
It has not been mentioned that if Borel was not where he was, Garcia would have never recovered, he was almost in Borel’s lap. Borel shoved him back onto his mount before the horse stumbled.
The other thing is Castellano threw the first punch, knocking Borel's helmet off. Granted, being called a MF is about as good a reason to deck someone as anything but Borel was selling wolf tickets that Castellano wasn't buying.
Jockeys have always fought and intimidation is one of a jocks strongest assets. My first call jockey may not have been the leading jock but he was the toughest. Days or fines are not nearly as motivating as fear of getting a can of whoop-ass opened up on you.
WTF? Borel / Castellano
