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 ****.
