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 can name 15 other riders who get Fly Down to switch leads and get up to win the Travers.

When 3 yo's in 1 1/4 Grade 1 races don't switch leads I would tend to think that the jockey probably isn't the issue.

Orsonian, a son of Officer, trained by Ralph Nicks is going to break his maiden at Belmont. He ran in the race where Stay Thirsty broke his maiden.

One of my favorite races was the Personal Ensign. It was great to see some of the top distaffers actually compete against each other for a change, even if the outcome wasn't what many expected.

I thought the horse to bet back out of that race was the pace setter who finished 3rd.
