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.

Yeah, a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby and places in the Preakness and Belmont really can't by that good. Are you one of those that bets "Borail" on any horse he gets on?

Chantal Sutherland - Casey Lambert - Calvin Borel - Mike Smith...

Horse hasn't had much luck with riders...what an average group.

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!
