\"Calvin Borel to replace Christian Santiago Reyes on Twice the Appeal according to Borel\'s agent Jerry Hissam.\"

Twice the Appeal was going to be a potential use underneath for me based the fact that he is one of the few with a forward moving line (albeit with a lot of development already).  He has generally been wide, so this will be an interesting marriage.

I agree MG. Unfortunately with Borel getting the mount the horse will now take a ton more money than he would have without Calvin.

The only difference between TtA and MTB is that MTB has a better 2 yo base.  He ran those 8s on the poly, while the best TtA had done were 11s.  Meaning that TtA has done ALOT of development already where MTB hadn\'t.

I have a difficult time seeing this horse run better than his 3 on Ky Derby, but with Borel on, anything is possible ;).
