that's all you have to say on the subject ? you are slipping into irrelevance

Rosie for the Roses...Whole Lotta Rosie.

Here comes Revolutionary with no warning. Arrives at the eighth pole in front like the morning. Sound the alarm it's a new track record.

I like your style and everything, but Rosie over Javier? Is that official they went with Rosie? I think shes a horrible rider. I dont like anything about her as a rider. Shes pretty though. One would think Todd would reach out to Calvin, seems almost 2 obvious.

There is no story if they put Rosie up. I dont love his chances anyway, but much less with her. You gotta get on the Oxbow train. We can ride the Oxbow train together.

Joe, seriously, what is so enthralling about this horse? You know I have a great deal of respect for your opinions, as we usually see eye to eye, but I'm simply not finding anything at all to like about him - curious what is so great? He looks a distance-challenged, cheap speed horse that needs the lead to me.

Overanalyze is the horse to beat in my opinion here, unless War Academy moves up severely.

i think war academy is only getting a lot of notice because he's bafferts. his resume doesn't scream 'arkansas derby favorite'.

Other than Golden Cents who are the speeds this year? Paceless Derby because of the new system that won’t allow straight sprinters in unless they routed already and earned points. This horse could pull a relatively easy trip sitting 3rd or 4th off a 47 half. Oxbow has tactical speed. He collapsed the race the other Lukas horse beat him in with a premature move and still ran on well. Distance is the thing I like most about him. I believe he will love the 10f. I also like War Academy. I think War Academy can beat him Saturday. I like them both in the Derby to be honest. I’m not sold on anything Todd has.

I love the slipping into irrelevance stuff. You should get a bigger signature.

It doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME," enough. Those of us that are relevant don't need to do stuff like that.

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.
