Castellano shines at Spa; Pletcher, Ortiz Jr., take titles (The Associated Press)
Javier Castellano didn’t win the jockey title at Saratoga Race Course, although he may have done even better by becoming the first rider to sweep four of the top Grade 1 races at the Spa. Castellano’s biggest win came in the Travers, when he guided Keen Ice to an upset of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah on Aug. 29. ”I think I had the best meet ever in my career,” Castellano said.
