Popular Churchill Downs-based jockey Calvin Borel, who swept this year's Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby aboard Rachel Alexandra and Mine That Bird, respectively, will be honored at Churchill Downs Nov. 21 and 22 with a bobblehead giveaway, autograph session, roast, and his very own drink special.

The first 7,500 fans through admission gates Nov. 21 will receive a free Calvin Borel bobblehead, courtesy of Kroger. The great majority of the Borel bobbleheads will showcase the 43-year-old Cajun in the familiar silks of Derby winner Mine That Bird. However, as a special treat, there will be 75 autographed, limited edition Borel bobbleheads mixed in the allotment that showcase the silks of Horse of the Year candidate Rachel Alexandra.

Only 500 Borel bobbleheads with Rachel Alexandra's silks were made and the remaining 425 will be sold near the PEB mural in the ITW area on the second floor of the clubhouse for $49.95. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund.

On Nov. 22, Borel will participate in a free autograph session with fans so they can get their bobbleheads and other memorabilia signed
