CONGRATULATIONS TO CALLINTHETROOPS and owners/breeders Richard Margherio, Nancy Margherio, Joe Margherio & Diane Margherio on a huge win at Churchill Downs on 5/29/04, by 6 lengths under jockey Eddie Castro. $17.00 to win!

from the Daily Racing Form 5/31/04 - Eddie Castro, the 2003 Eclipse Award winner for top apprentice and the current leading rider at Calder, won in his first trip to Churchill when he guided Callinthetroops to a $17 upset in the first race Saturday. Castro, who was in from his south Florida base to ride Stay Forever in the Mint Julep, got the mount almost by accident, according to Denis Roberson, trainer of Callinthetroops. "I was looking for somebody who could do the 110 pounds," said Roberson, adding the he tried to get Rafael Bejarano or Willie Martinez but both already had mounts in the race. But Julio Espinoza, Martinez's agent, was handling business for Castro, and he suggested that Roberson give Castro a try. Roberson said owner Joe Margherio and his partners "loved the idea of having a leading rider from anywhere. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out."


CONGRATULATIONS TO CALLINTHETROOPS and owners/breeders Richard Margherio, Nancy Margherio, Joe Margherio & Diane Margherio on a comfortable win at Turfway Park 4/1/04, by 4 lengths under jockey Rafael Bejarano.
