Basically, the article says that Borel has given a two race committment to some other people to ride their horse. The two races they plan on running the other horse (Warrior's Reward) are the Dwyer this weekend and the Jim Dandy.....on the same day as Mine that Bird is planned on running in the WV Derby. Woolley is saying he's going to ask for a firm committment in the next day or two.
So my question is if you ride the Derby winner and think he's such a good little horse, why are you making multi-race committments to other horses that could be pointed to races on the same day or even to the same races? I think it either comes down to Borel didn't make the committment to the other trainer or if he did, he really doesn't think all that much of Mine that Bird. I wonder which it is? And even if you didn't make this committment, isn't there a chance that Rachel could run in the Travers? I don't understand why Woolley didn't committ to another rider going into the Preakness. Mine that Bird is obviously not going to be Borel's first choice in any potential conflicts.

all of this would have been mute king if they had used the jockey from New Mexico at the derby , he would have stayed with the horse threw all 3 legs of the triple crown .....are we supposed to believe that the kid wouldn't have won on MTB in the derby , for gosh sake's he won by 7+ lengths. even if the kid got in trouble in the derby the horse would have still won in KY . does calvin borel equate to 7 or more lengths in a race anywhere at anytime ----i find that very hard to believe
