Woolley said that Borel is not a given to work the horse on Monday. He did not mention who else could work the horse but I assumed the only way it would not be Borel was if another jockey got the mount.
An article in today's Thoroughbred times mentions, "If Rachel Alexandra does move on to the Belmont, Eclipse Award-winning jockey Garrett Gomez could be a candidate to ride Mine That Bird. Gomez’s agent, Ron Anderson, helped link Woolley and Borel for the Derby mount." I doubt Gomez would be available to work MTB at Churchill on Monday since he is riding at Hollywood that day.
I would think that RA's connections would be aware of the Monday decision on the MTB mount and give Borel some indication on whether RA was going to run or not in the Belmont.
Incidentally, RA is also supposed to work on Monday.
