Thanks! Just taking shots today.

At Ellis, Ramsey Kitten won easily from last to first, at 8-5. Yes, she's Kitten's Joy offspring, owned by the Ramsey's

Please, they shouldn't have to look at this long, the 7 was much the best. I should have played the damn pk4 . . . .

Guess the NYRA stewards FINALLY had enough of the herder.

I did not have $ on the horse on top as I used the 3, but I would not be happy if I had played the pk4 or had a win ticket on the 7, they have left horses up for a lot less than that. I get your point, but the horse looked clear and best to me. Tough DQ, IMO, and this once again really questions NYRA stewards consistency.

Thanks!

astounding how they literally flip coins on decisions

I agree, very hard to reconcile that one with other decisions this meet.

Look, just because the NYRA stewards have been allowing Castellano to HERD for years doesn't mean this is correct. The one time he tried this **** @ WO, they slapped his ass down. HERDING is dangerous. It forces the other rider to either YIELD, allowing the herder to win, or plow into the herder. Which option do you think that any sane jock would take? It's an incredible advantage. Why is Castellano supposed to repeatedly get away with it? Hopefully, this establishes new ground for how NYRA treats herding from this point forward.

I've given up in looking for consistency from stewards (with the exception of the WO stewards, who are the best in the game). I just don't want to see this prick keep getting away with this ****.

Good luck with that.

I agree that Castellano's herding is a problem. An argument can be made that he initially was trying to herd the 3 and then saw the 1 coming and intentionally took the horse outside to take the path. I just thought the path was clear when he did it and it was tough for someone holding a ticket on the 7 to swallow.

If NYRA stewards are sending a message to Castellano then they have to be consistent on hitting him when he herds. The question is will they take real action. Does he get days for it? I doubt it.

Even Lezcano couldn't screw that one up.

This filly looks like she might be ok. She got an inside run and Lezcano couldn't keep her on righty lead but she looked good.

She sure as hell wasn't a secret. I'm a Toner fan so I hope she turns out to be a good one. Rice's horse ran well to be a clear 2nd after tracking that pace.

I agree on the Rice horse, one to keep an eye on after that early pace, big effort.

I have no idea why the hell I'm still surprised when a bunch of speed is lined up for a NYRA turf route and a frontrunner is still allowed to walk on the front.
