Glad you tuned in... Hope you and everyone enjoyed this season's "Keyword: Saratoga". Seth and I had a lot of fun again this year, and I'd like to think the show has really become a local fixture during the Spa stand.

![]() Rode a nice one in the Glens Falls.
Castellano's agent did a really fantastic job getting him on live horses. J.V. had the edge being first call for Pletcher. |

![]() Jose is a "Belmont" Park rider one turn lots of room. He moves horses way to early up here especially on the grass. |

![]() We really need to put the notion that Lezcano is a competent jock to rest, once and for all.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would think that Castellano wasn't the best rider. Or that Devil May Care who also probably blew her eclipse and didnt even hit the board in one race would get lauded for doing that. You would have thought Discreetely Mine would have gotten some love but I guess winning 2 stakes at the meet isnt nearly as impressive as losing at 3-5 |

![]() What's the obsession with Stay Thirsty? Because he's by a flashy 1st year sire and has a cute name taken from a funny beer campaign? I'm not sure how you can watch any of his 3 races and predict greatness going 2 turns.

He clearly stumbles yesterday, makes the lead on his own against 2 horses who looked to be faster early on. I like him moving forward. |

![]() How does him stumbling and then making the lead equate to him getting better as he goes longer?
