TV analysts said Castellano has won 4 of the past 5 Travers.
They also noted that Espinoza's only mount on the day was in the Travers and Bailey thought it was a mistake. He should have other mounts in order to get his timing down.
Bailey would know. I saw him work on his timing for two days at Churchill prepping for the BC Classic aboard Concern.
Espinoza says he has been practicing for 6 hours per day for "Dancing With The Stars". Perhaps he should have had his mind on riding today, instead?
Also, AP has a 4.33 dosage -- that's high for a classic distance. Keen Ice has a 2.73 dosage -- well, within the classic range.
