and yeah, betsy, i just put that up to get feedback from others about it--certainly is atypical for tommy to mention it. i hope he didn't think pletcher was trying anything, i don't think he was...i guess i'm just wondering if tommy thought pletcher was! kind of like that euro race a few weeks back....

I think Castellano made his decision to move based on what Lava Man did. If you watch all of Lava Man's race the results are determined at the same spot of the track every single time. Lava Man made his typical move, and Castellano did the right thing by sending his horse. If Castellano waited to long, and it turned out that Lava Man could run on the track, we would have seen the same result we saw all summer in California.
