In the Bloodhorse article on Wiggins it says Mike Smith is being mentioned to ride Mine That Bird.

Question. Say 14 enter the Preakness and Rachel can't get in. Would you let Borel back on Mine that Bird even though he was ready to abandon you for the filly?

Does Borel have to be let out of his committment to Mine that Bird in order to ride Rachel?

Isn't there some kind of penalty that stewards give a jockey for not honoring a call? Does it work in reverse?

It looks like the connections of Rachel Alexandra are getting intoxicated by her success .

I'm sure Mike will use the entire 7 - 8 path then....He's almost as brutal as Chantal is.
