Today's News
The weights for the Met Mile come out tomorrow. However, it looks like we are going to be assigned somewhere between 108 and 110 pounds. We are still working on a jockey. We don't want to give up much weight, so we're seeing who can tack that light and is available. We have spoken with Rafael Bejarano's agent. He can tack 109, but there are some races in California that day that he is committed to. He is seeing if he can get out of those mounts. Mike Luzzi can do very light in New York, and John Velazquez is listed as doing 112 pounds. However, we have to see if those numbers are still legit. The situation is still very fluid.
The list of probables published by NYRA is not overwhelming. Click here (about two-thirds down the page) to see their latest list. We expect a couple not on this list to show up.

Things are looking good! I will be at Finger Lakes Monday as they are doing a memorial and inducting Tin Cup into their Hall of Fame. After that all eyes will be on Belmont. Mr Fantasy had a half-sister born Saturday, fittingly, as Rachael Alexandra beat the boys in the Preakness. Hopefully an omen. You can see pics of her on my website, Corracavalo.com click on the quick link on the home page.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on selecting a jockey for the 109lbs. Mike Luzzi sounds like a good fit for the colts run style and weight assignment. Would you consider M. Studart just to make the weight?
