Can't fault the Bird's connections, Borel should have been given the Bird already. Lets face it, it is not like Borel is such a great rider that they should be at his whim with a horse of this quality and there are plenty of better riders who will commit to this horse. Good for Wooley and company for this move.

It's not everyday that a rider doesn't want a horse that finishes in the money in all 3 triple crown events. Wow.

right on! what rider is worth getting jerked around on. the horse is a major player with any jockey. people get carried away with the rider, the horse does the running its not like MTB is on borels back! plus, besides CD borel is pretty average!
