The Associated Press: Mine That Bird heads to Pimlico.
Wow, Borel won’t be riding Mine That Bird in the Preakness and has opted for Rachel Alexandra instead. Do you think Mike Smith can pull off the ride that this gelding will need to take the second leg of the Triple Crown? I hope so, I want nothing more than to see some guys from West Texas take the Triple Crown. But, does that also mean that Borel thinks Rachel Alexandra has a better shot at winning the Preakness. She was, after all, his favorite ride the weekend of the Oaks and the Derby, and you really can’t blame him for that.
Mine That Bird is also currently on his way from Churchill to Pimlico. The track “tweeted” it this morning.
