Shes All Eltish....very impressive first run on turf....5:1 is a great price..hopefully can control the pace and hold off the pletcher runner late

She looked good breaking mdn but facing winners first time is tall task and may have company on the chooch. I think #7 Irish Bride (10-1) rates a look.

These MLs at Gulfstream have been very poor. Wasn't Commentator like 8:5 the other day?

She's All Eltish is less likely to be 5:1 today than I am to do a 360 tomahawk dunk at the basketball court in the park today.

Irish Bride's last race was dreadful. I suggest you watch the replay.

Can't quibble with you there. I was on her that day. Considering betting her back today given she will catch a firm course vs the bog upon which she made her turf debut and may not have liked.

I don't think she'll be 5-1. Definitely looks like the one to beat. Freakstein could give her some trouble on the lead, however.

people gonna realize that Lezcano is a decent turf rider one of these days...

Castro kind of sucks. He pressed the pace too early in a turf race yesterday and gave Lezcano the win.

I know Lezcano riding at Tampa is completely different from riding at Gulf, but I have watched him for years and always felt he a very good sense of timing on the grass.

He's an underrated grass rider. He's having a solid meet so far.

Eddie Castro may get lucky occasionally and ride a good horse but he has clearly demonstrated he's a minor league rider.

maybe some of it could have been the hype surrounding Miesques Approval and his 2 wins at boxcar odds aboard him. Breeders Cup and SUnshine Millions..right?

I particularly enjoyed his PERSONAL battle with Sharp Susan: choke her down no matter what.

Totally agree. We don't see him in NY at BEL or STGA during the summer for good reason.

[SentToStud]

That's a joke. A couple bad weeks to start Gulf. He can ride.

Name someone, anyone, who is either 23 years old or off the bug just 18 months who has done what he has.

Pretty short list.

Thanks for the laugh.

[blackthroatedwind]

I had no idea how many winners he was lucky enough to have been given the mount on. He could have won fifty races so far for all I know. Hell, Norberto Arroyo won three races the other day. There were probably people that thought that makes him a good rider. Forget about the fact that he got DQ'd on another easy winner because of his ineptitude and blew the 8th race by a head on a horse three lengths the best. He was lucky enough to have been put on five winners. He won with three of them. He sucks. Just like Eddie Castro. He sucks. He has absolutely no savy. He sends into needless speed duels. He doesn't know the definition of saving ground or waiting patiently. He's a minor league rider. Period. Laugh all you want. He's a B or C level rider that happens to ride in a place that gets some A horses ( and A riders ) during the winter because of the weather. He's a complete amateur.
