Well, this is when the STEWARDS need to make an appearance and FINE him. Javier INTENTIONALLY steers his horse in to, as you stated, put Garcia over the rail. This goes beyond race riding.
If they allow Castellano to herd at will, they really shouldn't be taking OTHER jocks down for not keeping straight paths. As for Castellano, he got BENT OVER today.

Rutherienne is not the horse she gave the indication of being as a 3yo. I don't think there's a debate to have on the topic. And counting on her at 2-5 is a quick way to lose money. And she nearly came through with another disappointment yesterday like the mundane product she is.

She proved yesterday, after being put in tight by the punk Castellano, where Garcia wasn't able to whip her without hitting the rail, that she is game. Most horses don't battle back from being pinned inside. As for the indication she gave as a 3 year old: she got more than her share of PERFECT trips, including the Lake George, where she came up on the rail while Sharp Susan and Lady Attack were in the parking lot. I never thought much of this horse but she's cost me a ton of money with her photo wins. You can say that she's not that good, at least not G1 quality, but to consider her a hanger is to miss the point.
I don't know, maybe it's just me but I don't DEPEND on those instances where I need to get lucky to get me through the game, like RockHard... does. If I need to depend on a jock herding to win a race, putting another jock and horse in danger, and then have the balls to bitch afterwards when the attempt fails, what else need be said? And, if race dynamics is a 'Twinkie Defense", what exactly is using someone else's FIGURES and DATA to form an opinion? Not watching races but trying to explain them by using the abstractions of others is really not conducive to any kind of argument I want to get into. But, it's the only one available here, it seems.
