Frankly, they all suck, who cares.
Though, when Bernardini made a premature move I knew it had to be Castellano!

I agree with everything you say. I even had the balls to single Chantal yesterday because the horse just looked so good.
Further irony, I played a late pik-3 singling the Dutrow monster and using Stolen Star as a press and saving with Fuego Grande in the 8th(didn't like Montauk's last race at all) into 7 horses in the last race because I hate the hanging fave Bronxdale. I just spent 30 seconds screaming " COME ON DESORMEAUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" from the turn to the wire.
The old expression or cliche that the minute you badmouth a rider they will win is a pretty accurate one.
I was pretty red faced after the race was over to have been screaming for Kent to keep his horse going(which he did) and pretty red faced to have to admit this after just erroneously ripping him for a bad ride that he didn't even give on this same thread. I pretty much just obtained idiot status.
Now if Bronxdale can just keep hanging like the chandelier that he is............
