The move comes after trainer Chip Woolley, Borel and the jockey's agent could not agree on a long-term commitment.

Borel possibly could have been aboard the gelding for his next scheduled start at the $750,000 West Virginia Derby on Aug. 1 at Mountaineer Casino and Racetrack in Chester, W.Va. But Woolley said Wednesday he wants someone committed to ride Mine That Bird through the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., in November.
