Do not for a second think that Javier and Honor Code are tied to the waist fot the Kentucky Derby. From what i am hearing ,Javier has gotten a bit attached to the Undefeated Constitution for Todd Pletcher. Johnny V. or Joel ,don't be surprised if you receive a call from Shug.

The Doctor · I'm not saying he can't win it. But for some reason horses that don't run at two never do. if he bucks that trend i'll be the first to say you're a freakin' genius. but until then i'm going to have to throw him out. · 4212 days ago
tmallios1 · Doc those are 2 words that wont be said about me Doc.,(LOL) i am not expecting him to win the Derby,far from it.That thought never even crossed my mind. Just saying that if he did,it would not be a shock to me. You see in my mind and it has been since my other 3 picks have basically fallen off the Derby Path. It is California Chrome and then find a blanket to throw over the rest of them ,if you can find one that big. But Constitutions chances of winning the Derby are no better or worse than any of the other 3 yos' in this years crop. · 4212 days ago

Was taken to the hospital after his mount Atlantic Dream stumbled and fell after the wire during race 9 at Aqueduct. He was complaining of a pain in his chest. Atlantic Dream did not appear hurt and left the track.

Javier J. Castellano

Quotes from jockey Javier Castellano on six-win day at Aqueduct "It was a wonderful day. Everything went the right way today. I'm very blessed; I've been having a wonderful year, winning the Breeders' Cup [Juvenile Fillies with Ria Antonia] and being the leading jockey at Belmont Park in the spring and fall and at Saratoga. I am so thankful to all the trainers who put so much confidence in me, especially Chad Brown and Todd Pletcher. I hope things can continue and that God gives me the strength to be strong. "When I came here this morning I was kind of disappointed to see my filly [morning-line favorite Anjaz] scratched from the stakes race [Grade 3 Long Island Handicap]. All my horses today were live but I thought she was my best chance. I said, 'Let me ride it race by race,' and everything went right."

Is it me or has the Pletcher barn "frozen out" Javier since "the decision"? Definitely noticed he hasn't been on a Pletcher horse since -- suspect with Johnny's absence, he may have been 1st call on Overanalyze.

Interesting...I wonder who Pletcher will put on Revolutionary. Calvin Borel would be a good choice...or maybe Rosie.

patrick.l.mccaslin · I would love to see Calvin Borel on him. I personally think JC may have made a mistake in riding NI although I think he also has a shot at winning. · 4545 days ago

Show me a better jockey than Javier on young horses and or maidens especially on the turf. This jock is lights out with maidens. He is one of my favorite riders .

Anyone watch the cooking that Catellano just gave the number 10 in the 7th race at Gulfstream park today? Anyone who rides like that just wants to lose...

cocoa2 · El Padrino and Union Rags will lead the charge home on derby day, and then some wicked random unknown horse will run his hardest and *poof* we have a new KY Derby. While we are scratching our heads where he came from we'll look back and see he had Storm Cat and the like, and then we'll kick ourselves in the arse and retreat home, throughly pissed. · 4954 days ago
