J P's Gusto retired to FloridaHorseracing Betting Lines11/11/2011 - Ocala, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Multiple stakes winner J P's Gusto has been retired from racing and will enter stud service at Journeyman Stud beginning in 2012. Journeyman Stud is owned by Brent and Crystal Fernung. "J P's Gusto represents the quality we're always looking to get down here to Journeyman, so we're thrilled to have him," said Brent Fernung. "He was a great two-year-old and a top-class racehorse to the day he retired. On top of the ability, his pedigree makes him a natural for Florida. Successful Appeal was a fast Florida-bred and has turned out to be one of the top juvenile sires in the world." Trained by Michael Hushion for Gem Inc., J P's Gusto netted five wins in 12 career starts for $811,760. His two-year-old campaign was his most productive with four wins in eight starts for $527,360. In his second start in 2010 the colt won the Willard L. Proctor Memorial at Hollywood Park for his maiden victory. He then posted wins in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship, Best Pal and Del Mar Futurity. J P's Gusto closed his two-year-old season with a second in the Norfolk Stakes and CashCall Futurity. Sandwiched between those two starts was a sixth-place finish to Uncle Mo in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Based at Oaklawn Park for the run up to the Kentucky Derby, J P's Gusto was second behind Archarcharch in the Southwest Stakes and seventh as the 7-2 third pick in the Rebel behind The Factor. As a 33-1 longshot in the Arkansas Derby he was eighth to Archarcharch after setting the early pace. His last start was a winning one in the Red Legend Stakes at Charles Town. J P's Gusto suffered an injury during training for the King's Bishop Stakes this August at Saratoga.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
