There was a bad spill @ the SPA today. Javier Castellano went to the hospital.
Paco's filly #9 I Love Giraffes stumbled a little after the far turn & that had Paco flying off. That brought down #8 Lovely Grey which was David Portnoy's girl. That threw Dylan Davis. Lovely Grey was vanned off. Tyler was also thrown off #6 Smexy. All four of the fillies returned to their barns which is good news for now.
Paco has been suspended 4 days for causing the spill. He's appealed the ruling.
According to the race’s Equibase chart, Lopez’s mount I Love Giraffes “bumped with the hindquarters of PILLAR OF BEAUTY then clipped heels with her left foreleg outside the quarter-pole and fell.”
Javier Castellano will be out most of July with a lower back injury caused by the spill.

Remember Emerging Market? He won his first 2 races for Chad Brown & then threw a shoe in both the Derby & Belmont.
Tomorrow he races @ the SPA in Race 6. He'll be wearing "glued" on shoes for the first time in a race. He's the ML chalk @ 6/5 & will be facing older horses for the 1st time.

Journalism has retired & will have fun making babies the rest of his life.
Javier Castellano will be back on his mounts starting next Wednesday. He's been recovering from a spill caused by Waco Paco.
Ever hear of Pedro Pena? Me either but he's getting plenty of mounts as a 7lb apprentice jock racing @ Gulfstream. He's been riding for a lot of small barns down here & his average WIN payoff is $19.43. He has a mount in 9 of the 10 race today.

Kentucky Downs opens August 9th & a minimum WPS will be $5 & no longer $2 wagers.
In fact the late Double & Exacta will also be a $5 minimum wager.
I like to bet what I like to bet & don't want to be forced to play more than I want to play. A $2 exacta wheel with 10 horses cost me $18. At Kentucky Downs the same wager will cost me $45! Good job pissing off your customers.
WTF!!!!

I don't know what happened but the best part is missing...
In the winners circle after the race Maggie Wolfendale asked trainer George Weaver about his winner. He said when the race came off the turf he was going to scratch out of the race. But he took another look at the competition after all the scratches & said he didn't have to beat much (which is a helluva shot others entered in the race) so he decided to run. Then he says he's really a turf horse & that's where he wants to run him. I thought that was a special little nugget of info because who else would know that other than Weaver & the owners & a few who work the colt etc.
I've put him in my stable & will open thread when I see him entered on the turf.
To reset expectations, it was a 4 horse field & he won @ 3/2 but I think the turf comments where special because who knew that other than the owners & Weaver. I put him my stable & will post it when I see him entered on the turf.
I mentioned earlier in the meet that George Weaver is a cool dude like trainer Kelly Breen & that he's sneaky good. He has another 2 year old first timer in Race 6 #9 McMoon ML 8-1.
Trainer Rudy Rodriquez got his 1st winner @ Saratoga today. Maggie Wolfendale asked the owner Anthony Beadnell if his winning colt You Are My Suzie was special & he named him after his daughter who had died. The poor dude broke down & couldn't continue the conversation. Even Rudy Rod was about to cry.
I believe many female trainers are overlays on the tote & I always take a look. Recently Cherie DeVaux, Jena Antonucci & Brittany Russell have all won bug races but the top female trainer ever, Lind Rice is ice cold going 5 for 50. Normally she wins a 23% rate. So I think she may be dangerous with her best yet to come.
As I type this, Rice won the 3rd race.

Irad is out until August 22nd after he got banged around in the gate last Saturday @ Saratoga.
Some jock is going to pickup some very nice mounts during his absence.
Scratches continue to plaque Saratoga. Today's card has no more than 8 horses going to the gate with a couple of 5 & 6 horse fields. The track is listed as fast & firm on the turf.
So WTF?

The suspension of Paco Lopez for causing a spill at The SPA which injured Javier Castellano & broke the hip of Paco's filly I Love Giraffes has been reduced from 30 to 20 days.
Meanwhile Paco is riding at Colonial during his suspension. In Race 7 on Saturday he rides #2 Whenigettoheaven who I think has a good shot at cashing a check.
