I will go out on a limb and surmise he thinks he has a better chance to win the Derby on Normandy Invasion.

Castellano wasn't thrilled when he learned that Alabama Stakes couldn't get "Crazy Fingers" to agree to a year's worth of free braids for the jockey who rides Revolutionary.

Sorry I had her deported after a less than stellar braid. I lopped it off, didn't need her anymore.

Castellano had barely jumped off Normandy Invasion Saturday and he and his agent Matt Muziker were talking about sticking with him. They have ties to Chad Brown as established as those to Pletcher. Normandy Invasion is the 'now' horse. It's where I'd have gone if I was a jock's agent in that position.

Revolutionary would be a good fit for Jose Lezcano but his agent Jason Beides makes it sound like the WinStar camp is looking elsewhere.

Hat in ring but they're considering several.
