Woolley mulling possible riders for Mine That Bird
"I thank Calvin for the job he has done for us, but going race to race is not a good option for us, and we think we are better off going with someone who will be there when we need him," Woolley said. "It is strictly a business decision, and Calvin and (agent) Jerry (Hissam) will always be welcome in my shedrow." Mine That Bird, who went twice around the main track Thursday morning with exercise rider Rudy Gallegos up, had his first work since the Belmont on Monday when he covered a half-mile in :51 under Borel. Woolley has three more Churchill Downs works scheduled for Mine That Bird before leaving for Mountaineer. Woolley had planned to ship Mine That Bird to Mountaineer on July 16 or 17 to get two breezes over the track, but that has changed. "I think we are better off staying here and move up there closer to the race," Woolley said. "He will work here on the 20th and we'd go up the 24th in time to gallop him twice over the track before one work there. But even that is subject to change."
