Calvin Borel to again ride Mine That Bird
Horseracing Betting Lines
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.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
