Chad Brown is still riding him, right?

After that last race on Desert Sage, who know's. Brown talked him into coming to NY from NJ when Brown came to NY. They both got a 1st Breeders cup together. After that, it looked like it was hard to get him to ride 1st asking. Brown was forced to look elsewhere. Like JV,Ramon,JC, and now Eddie C. I still think he will ride for Brown here and there, they are good buds.

Where Desert Sage finished was hardly Lezcano's fault. But you know that.

It's not where he finished, it's where he started. Choke hold and wrangled back. Guess you know that. You don't spot a field like this 8-9 lenghts and expect to win or hit the board.

I've been pretty critical of riders this meet, but I think you're being a bit ridiculous. Her race before last Saturday, a paceless affair at Parx she fought Lezcano when he had her up close to the pace. Just going by her form, she appears to be a horse that likes to settle and make one run. At least that is what she did her first three races in this country.

I don't think he wrangled her back. She threw her head after the break, but a few strides out of the gate she settled and seemed comfortable where she was. She had every chance and just did little running.

Fair to say Lezcano was an unfair scapecoat after today considering the way things unfolded?

Castelano didn't panic and dive to the rail, and she wasn't nearly as rank. Overall, I think the jock change worked out just fine.

Wouldn't it be fair to disclose that " Brown " is your son?
