Borel taken off Mine That Bird after failing to reach agreement
Calvin Borel is out as the rider of Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird .
The move comes after trainer Chip Woolley , Borel and the jockey’s agent could not agree on a long-term commitment.
Borel had been weighing whether to ride Mine That Bird in the $750,000 West Virginia Derby on Aug. 1 or Warrior’s Reward in the Grade I Jim Dandy Stakes on the same day at Saratoga.
