I don't know exactly when the committment was made either but it's been known that MTB was going in the WV Derby for a little while now. Even if it wasn't that race, there was the possibility of the Dandy for him. And then after that, the connections of both are probably thinking Travers so there was going to be a conflict somewhere along the line.

I don't have a problem with Borel making the choice he's made, if in fact he's going to stick with the other horse. The only thing I find interesting about it all is how little he thinks of the Derby winner to where he's make this committment to another horse before that horse is even a stakes winner.

The only thing I don't get out of this is why they keep trying to send Warrior's Reward around two turns. So far he's been spectacular in both one-turn races and mediocre around two.

The only thing I don't get is why Borail is thinking long-term. If he is not over 45 he sure looks it. He only has 2 or 3 years left and has his money.

Borel officially lost the mount and now they are looking for commitment through the Classic:
