Well to the suprise of no one, Calvin Borel is out as the jockey of Mine That Bird, link. This is the best thing that could happen to both sides. For Dr. Bach and his partner whose name I will not say do to his "idea", earlier this year and trainer Chip Wooley, they can find a jockey that is loyal. And for Calvin, he can focus on his two big horses, Rachel Alexandra and Warrior's Reward. Also he had no earlier connections with Chip, where as he had some connection with Steve Asmussen and he is the 1st call rider for Ian Wilkes.
That doeesn't this is mean it's disapointing. Here is a horse that everbody called a fluke, his jockey left him and then almost got beat on Rachel by the so called fluke. In all honestly, the Belmont was proably going to be his final ride on Mine anyway (in my opinon). It was strictly a bussiness decideson. And hopefully both sides will be able to move on for the rest of the year.
Previews for this weekend's 3 G1's will go up tomarrow.
