Exactly how many times can the stewards pull down a Castellano ridden horse without setting him down for days. There have been several examples over the last month where his mounts have been bearing out under left handed urging. Today's disqualification of Mississippi Duel is just the latest example.
Now, I might take some heat on this subject given Javier's leadership position here in New York, but the stewards' role is to maintaining a fair racing environment. Policing the path invasion or herding that has been all too often seen this season - with penalties - is needed.
