The Game we call Cat and Mouse

This is pretty much what the jockey situations for Rachel Alexandra and Mine That Bird have turned into. We will not know until next week weather Rach will go, or who will ride Mine. Chip Woolley announced today that we announce next week who will ride Mine, after Jess Jackson announces weather or not Rach goes. Link Either way, this cat and mouse tatics will be over in a little bit over a week.

Speaking of the Belmont, Mr. Hot Stuff fired a bullet on Tuesday, link. He'll be ridden by Edgar Prado, who will be receving the highest sports award in Peru. It's unknown when he'll be presented with this award however, link. So congrats to him!

A.P. Arrow who was fifth in the 2005 Belmont Stakes, will begin his stud career in South Africa, link. Good luck to him at stud. Also Pioneering looks like he will be leaving Overbrook for Brazil, link. While not as successful at stud as his half brother Storm Cat, he did have a G1 winner. But, he's more known as the sire of The White Fox and So Long Birdie, Birdstone and Bird Town's half brother who stands in New Mexico. His owner? Mark Allen, the co-owner of Mine That Bird.

Also if anyone knows any info how Sky Mom is doing after the Arlington Matron accident, please post a comment here. Yes I know she was DQ'ed to last, but that's all I know.
