When you guys are debating whether or not a jock makes a difference please use this ride as an example of why they do.

You are not alone in your thinking with this. I thought the same damn thing right after the race. I didnt bet the race, bit it was pretty damn obvious Castellano had no interest in winning this race.

Pillow,

While I did lose money, it wasn't enough to get crazy about. I was surprised I was getting 9/2 when I bet her (went off at 4/1) and liked the horse a lot. To get a guy on top of a horse and have him put in absolutely NO effort what-so-ever is disturbing.

It has nothing to do with betting. Anybody that actually watched the race knows you have a point. Its not as though you said " She couldn't lose, I would have won a fortune, and the rider buried me. " The simple fact is the horse was never given any chance whatsoever in a ride that was, at best, curious.

She wouldn't have won the race if she had gotten through on the rail. What do you want Castellano to do? He had no opportunity throughout the race to move the horse off the rail. Castellano wasn't giving a "curious" ride. THe horse obviously wanted no part of it down the stretch.

You apparently had some nice things to say to me while I was gone. Care to pm them to me. It seems they got deleted.

I have nothing to say. You're intimidating on the internet. Don't hurt me with the play on words.
