"Get up for 2nd?" That would imply that Mambo in Seattle arrived late on the scene passing horses near the finish to gain the placement behind a clear winner. In fact, he hooked up with the winner approaching midstretch and dueled to the wire to lose what was the closest photograph in the history of the Travers, and one that many thought a dead heat. My point was empathy for Howard and what I believe was the better horse Saturday in Mambo in Seattle, and additionally that while Colonel John is an admirable horse having a nice year, the Casner/Walden WinStar team are not endearing subjects for fan adulation. |

Have mambo in seattle's connections made any statements to you or in public about the possibility of the BC? I seem to remember last time the BC was in california, Farish/Howard had a little horse that they didnt want to ship out there. I hope that they entertain it this time around. This horse sure looks like a good one. |

Personally I think Colonel John's 'trouble' has been exaggerated, it was more Gomez jerking the horse because he was going to be ****ed if he didn't get to that gap because Da Tara was backing up. I actually think CJ got a perfect trip Mambo was by far the best horse on Saturday, but from his prior races, he wasn't the type of horse that blows by people anyways. More importantly, how about Thoro-pattern having both horses at 42% to run a top, and them running 1-2.... |

It's awful hard for me to say that a horse should have won or was the better horse when he had that long of a run to pass the winner and the winner was going as slow as he was (about 25.70 for the final quarter) and he STILL didn't.

As I've explained several times since Midway Road's 2nd in the 2003 Preakness, Farish/Howard only run colts and horses in big spots if they expect to run well. Just as Phipps/Shug only run their fillies and mares in big spots if expect to run well. Bet accordingly... |
tell him to dump robbie and get more wins..

i thought CJ should have got a hard look from the stewards for the move go-go made.
Macho Again didn't even get a chance to show his talents in this one either -bt- |
Well we need to blame somebody for the dismal results of the Howard barn this year...and since Mr. Farish and Mr. Howard are such nice people they are automatically eliminated.
106 starts 1st-2nd-3rd 8-21-20 Wow. Seems like running second is contagious!! It's Alporado's fault!!! Off with his head!! Good job, Mr. Farish. You have a fine barn of underachievers. Maybe you should spend a few million more and bump that win percentage to a whopping 10%. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. God save the queen. |

Much like my supposed numerous TV appearances on Saturday....Macho Uno made a belated bid in this year's Travers. |
GO to the DRF official charts on travers and it will explain all trouble by any horse. Everybody must have watched race with 15 beers in them. lol this was a good thread I'll say so myself.
