Castletown and El Seventyseven, a pair of accomplished 7-year-old geldings, both ran in last year’s $75,000 Honor the Hero Stakes, and they return for Monday’s edition of the five-furlong turf dash at Canterbury Park. Castletown, trained by Robertino Diodoro, is 1 for 2 over this course and distance. He finished second in last year’s Honor the Hero, three-quarters of a length behind Tell All You Know. A speedy son of Orientate, Castletown should be in the mix from the outset under regular rider Jorge Carreno. :: Bet the Honor the Hero with DRF Bets. Get up to a $500 cash bonus!

Goncalves, based here for the first time, is off to an encouraging 3-for-8 start at the meet. The Honor the Hero, which attracted nine runners, is scheduled to be run at 4:10 p.m. Central. With rain in the forecast, the race could be run at the same five-furlong distance on the main track.
