Javier Castellano
Out of action since having leg surgery in mid-November, Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano is set to launch his comeback Wednesday, Feb. 17, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Castellano, 43, is named aboard Jacks or Better Farm s 3-year-old homebred Sexy Dream, a half-sister to multiple graded-stakes winning millionaire Jackson Bend, in Race 9, a starter/optional claimer for 3-year-old fillies going one mile on the grass.
Trained by Ralph Nicks, Sexy Dream will break from Post 10 in a field of 11. Castellano is represented by agent John Panagot.
“I m really excited and looking forward to it,” Castellano said. “It s the first time that I ve been off for so long, three months, but I m ready to go. I feel 100 percent and I m ready to get back to work.”
