Does this perhaps indicate that the filly is unlikely to run and that Borel will be back on Mine That Bird?

I think the only thing it indicates is that Prado somehow kept the mount on Dunkirk.

Johnny V is riding Dunkirk-per DRF.com

Thanks, just saw it.

I was initially confused w/ Gomez\' announcement because I didn\'t think Prado would (or should) keep the mount.  

Now I understand why Gomez is on Chocolate Candy.

Probably not who Gomez/Anderson wanted to ride.

Nice horse,but he\'s been at it since last summer without any real break.They spun it that Gomez liked the way CC completed in his work.

Seems like he finished slow just looking at the splits:

12.40 12.00 12.00 11.80  then a final quarter in 25.20 with a 13.80 gallop out.
