John Velazquez, the rider of Vino Rosso, said he felt Geroux rode Restoring Hope in a manner to protect Justify.
Pletcher, the trainer of Noble Indy, confirmed that the plan was to have that horse in a forward position early.
“Javier opted to go to his plan B,” Pletcher said. “Mike and I didn’t discuss a plan B.”
Repole said Castellano will likely not ride for him for the near future.
“You get to run in this race one time in your life, you would expect to follow directions,” Repole said. “He chose an audible, that doesn’t sit well with me. It’ll be awhile before you see Javier in the blue and orange silks.”
