@DRFInsidePost: Javier Castellano to ride Algorithms in Fountain of Youth, Julien Leparoux picks up mount on Union Rags.

@MatthewAMuzikar: A very tough decision but Javier & I feel as though its the correct decision. We wish Union Rags, Michael Matz & Mrs. Wyeth the best always!

What I hear about U.R. that might be a bad move, but we will see.

Realistically, from a business standpoint, I don't think he had much choice. Horses from Matz versus horses from Pletcher,no comparison.

Very true, but we are talking about the KY Derby!

Yea. Pletcher has many more bullets if Algorithms doesn't make it to the Derby starting gate. With Matz though it's Union Rags or nothing.

Hoping Rags has blinkers on, he ran in the B.C. like he could move way up with them on.
