Anyone know why Castellano is on Haynesfield instead of Dominguez?

Something bout Haynesfield wasn't suppose to go so Dominguez got the mount of Half Metal Jacket however Asmussen is racing him. Both trainers want him but he thought it would be better to sit it out rather than make an enemy

Interesting???? Seems very un-jockey like to take off a 250K race to keep the trainers happy.
Dominquez may be the first jockey in the history of the sport who isn't completely sef centered

Less self-centered than the other jockeys? These guys ride to make a living, conceit has nothing to do with it, I'd be more inclined to say his agent is more
stupid than the others as neither of these horses would be a major loss and if the trainers blamed Dominguez for making a living and honoring his first call than F them, but it doesn't make the other riders self-centered and egocentric for having the balls to ride their horse in that situation.

It is not like it is alot of strategy with Haynesfield. Get him out front and let him run,would be nice to see FoF right on his side the whole way.

Big question is who falls back first? Haynesfield or FoF

Apparently Dominguez was committed to Half Metal Jacket for Rudy Rodriguez before he knew Haynesfield was going. In an effort to keep everyone happy, because both sets of connections wanted Ramon, his agent opted to ride no one.
