this is not a pick, but Nick Zito has a horse by the name of HELIODORO in the race, i think they named the horse after the jockey Heliodoro Gustinas who used to ride in New York in the 60's. i remember Fred Capossela used to love to call his name.

Wasn't that Forego's jockey?

In 1968, he also rode Stage Door Johnny to victory in the Belmont Stakes.

He's running in race 5 not race 7.

Race 7 like :8: and :14: , both were dead last and rallied to finish 2nd.

Be interesting to see what zito's other entry, Lt Dale does first out for Nick's old pal Rick Pitino. Zito trained a few of slick rick's horses back in the mid/late 90's including AP Valentine.

Gustines was my older brother's favorite jock back in the day. I remember him riding very clearly; his trademark was his jockey cap that he always seemed to wear at a jaunty angle. He rode Forego many times, after Pete Anderson, and did indeed ride Stage Door Johnny to victory in the '68 Belmont (I was there).
