Living the Dream WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2020 SPUN TO RUN GETS A JOCKEY, BUT NOT LIVING THE DREAM RESPECT by Bill Finley A strange four-day period in which the likely second choice in a $3-million race did not have a jockey ended Tuesday with the announcement that Javier Castellano will ride Spun to Run (Hard Spun) in the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream. Castellano replaces Irad Ortiz, Jr., who made the peculiar decision to take off Spun to Run in order to ride the Bob Baffert- trained Mucho Gusto (Mucho Macho Man). Mucho Gusto was last seen running third in the GIII Oklahoma Derby Sept. 29 and his biggest wins have come at the Grade III level. Meanwhile, Click above to watch our video interview with Saffie Joseph Spun to Run was second in his last start behind likely 3-year-old champion Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) in the GI Cigar by Christina Bossinakis Mile and, before that, he won the 2019 GI Big Ass Fans Saffie Joseph Jr. lived what many might call an idyllic life in his = native Barbados.

And while Joseph points out that the horses, and the expanding team of dedicated owners who support him, are important factors in his success, the father of two acknowledges that his predecessors were the ones who planted the seed and cultivated his passion for racing. I've basically been in horse racing my whole life,@ explained Joseph. AMy dad [Saffie Joseph Sr.] was a trainer and our granddad [Attie] was an owner. I was born into racing. Racing has been a family tradition.@ Born on the island of Barbados in 1987, Joseph was introduced to horses early on by his father Joseph Sr., who was a trainer on the island, and his grand father Attie Joseph, a successful owner in the Caribbean. He admits he can=t remember a time when horses didn=t play a major part in his life. AMy granddad started it all,@ he said. AHe was one of the top owners in Trinidad and Barbados. My aunt [Claudette], also had some of the horses run in her name, too. Between the two of them, they were fortunate to win a lot of big races.@ Joseph, who took out his training license at age 18, credits much of his present-day success to his father, who served as a mentor to the aspiring young horseman.

AWe argue every day,@ said Joseph. AHe probably puts more pressure on me than any of my owners, but I think it works out better for us. It works out better for the horses, definitely.@ He added, AHe taught me the value of hard work and that's what I try to enforce with our team, too. We know we're going to work hard, but the success will come back to us. It's all very rewarding.@ Rising Star Not without an abundance of time and effort propelling it, success came early in Joseph=s career when, at just age 22, he became the youngest trainer in Barbados=s history to win the Triple Crown in 2009 with Areyoutalkintome. AHe was the best horse I ever trained in Barbados,@ Joseph said of the Triple Crown winner. AProbably one of the best horses to Saffie Joseph Jr. | Sarah Andrew ever run in Barbados.@ AMost of our system is basically based under his philosophy,@ Bolstered by the experience, Joseph realized it was time to said Saffie Jr. AMy dad taught me, if the horses are happy, make a change if he was going to take his game to the next they're going to run. And they're going to run through little level. things that are insignificant. That's the main thing.

I dreamed that one day I could run against them.@ Joseph arrived in the U.S. with only two horses and one of them, Artifacto, won his first three Stateside starts. Despite the taste of success, however, the early years weren=t without their challenges. AIt was hard at the beginning because we owned all the horses ourselves,@ he recalled. AMy dad, myself, we had six or seven horses. Artifacto won his first three races in America, but outside of that, it wasn=t easy.@ Gradually building his operation through the better part of the last decade, Joseph=s hard work paid off with a horse named Math Wizard, who got up in the final jump to collect the first Grade I victory for the barn in the Sept. 21 Pennsylvania Derby at Parx. The colt was fifth in the Nov. 2 GI Breeders= Cup Classic at Santa Anita in his most recent start. ATo be honest with you, going into the [Pennsylvania Derby], I didn't think we could win,@ admitted Joseph. AI thought we had a chance, but I was hoping to get a good pace. Just to see it happen was surreal. It brought tears to my eyes. It's probably one of the greatest days of my life in horse racing.@ After initially considering the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream for the chestnut=s 2020 debut, the team finally decided to ship overseas to contest the $20-million Saudi Cup Feb. 29. AIf Math Wizard goes to Saudi Arabia [Saudi Cup Feb. 29] and all goes well, we're obviously out there so we would like to go to [the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 28] next.
