And Castellano followed this scintillating effort with an equally fine ride on Tam Lin. Anyone who wants to learn how to trip turf races at something above the basic level should watch the headon of this race and note how many times Tam Lin is forced to change leads because Castellano has put him in a bad spot.

I told someone that is a Godolphin fan that if Castellano ever puts on the blue silks again it is a travesty. Those were two laughably bad rides.

At least he gave Invasor a perfect ride in the BC Classic.

Didn't Jara ride Invasor in the BC?

He was being sarcastic for Castellano moving too soon on Bernardini.

For the most I like Castellano on the turf though I agree he does make some bad decisions at times, I never liked Tam Lin. IMO he's nothing special.
