08/31/2009 - Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel will again be in the saddle of Mine That Bird, the gelding he guided to victory in this year's Run for the Roses.
Trainer Chip Woolley made the announcement on Monday.
Woolley said that Borel, who won the 2007 Kentucky Derby on Street Sense, has regained the mount on Mine That Bird for the $350,000 Goodwood Stakes versus older horses at Santa Anita Park on Saturday, October 10. Borel will also ride the gelding in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita four weeks later.
This will be the third go-around for Borel with the three-year-old owned by Mark Allen and Dr, Leonard Blach. After winning the Kentucky Derby, Borel chose to ride the filly Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness Stakes, which she won. The Louisiana-native came back to ride Mine That Bird to a third-place result in the Belmont Stakes behind Summer Bird.
Borel lost the mount when he could not commit to ride Mine That Bird in the $750,000 West Virginia Derby on August 1. The jockey was aboard Warrior's Reward that day at Saratoga in the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes and finished second.
Mike Smith, who rode Mine That Bird in the Preakness, came back for the West Virginia Derby and was third there. Smith was scheduled to ride in the Travers Stakes, however the gelding was kept out of the Mid-Summer Derby after undergoing throat surgery earlier this month for an entrapped epiglottis.
Voted the 2008 Canadian champion two-year-old, Mine That Bird has earned $1,892,200 with one win in six starts in 2009.
Mine That Bird is scheduled to lead the post parade for the $2 million All America Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico on Labor Day.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.
As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.
The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).
But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.
Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.
Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1
Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2
New York Giants - 9 - 2
Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).
Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.
So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.
And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.
They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.
But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.
Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.
Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.
Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.
Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?
Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.
In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.
Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.
Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.
The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.
The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
