The Dave Borden Expereince


Here is your chance now. To watch one of my all time favorite moments. Working in the Thoroughbred Racing Business!
Jockey Dave Borden who was a former champion jockey at Thistledown Racetrack in Cleveland, Ohio. Who was competing on the tough New York City circuit. When my dad and the owners of Myrthful Mynx, Les and Dianne Lee. Flew Dave in to pilot there talented filly in this tough 6 furlong race. Dave Borden was the difference in guiding Mynx to victory in this race.
This was the best race Myrthful Mynx raced on the main track in her career. Sadly Dave Borden never got the chance to ride her on the turf. Where she was very prolific!

The date of the race was September 16, 1981. The link for the video is below;
