Today's third race had to be the fourth time during this meet that I have seen Javier Castellano break first in these 9f races and walk to a half in 49 and change or more. Is anyone else actually trying early in these races? Haven't we seen Castellano settle into that very low posture before when he intends to wire the field in the first 100 yards?
That could not have been a more embarrassing ride by the rest of the field.
Note to Cornelio Velasquez : if you want to push for the lead, actually go for it rather than coasting three-wide up the entire backstretch, far turn, and then wondering why you are empty at the 1/8 pole. As least Saez actually tried to press the pace.
