Travers Winner....
 

Someone with a super pedigree... Someone who will only get better with distance, experience and as he gets older, someone who was flattered with the result of the belmont today..

Does anyone know who i am thinking ?

He sucks.

Anak Nakal?

will run a 89 beyer.

does he ? compared to everything else ?
i think the connections are excited after the results today .

Is Da' Tara going 14f next out?? He was the only one flattered with his Belmont performance. But in all honesty, he won't be better at 14f. I do like him having no MR P in his pedigree however...I agree.

Only 3 horses are interesting for the Travers in my opinion. Maybe four. If you can name three of them I'll be your new best friend now that Hossy ditched you.

i am talking about roman emperor, who beat da tara last time out at pimlico.
he is a empire maker, who i have liked all year, and he has kinda been a disapointment, but he did run da tara down in his last, and he is tactical.

big brown if he comes back
the kiran horse who broke his maiden by 10 ,
harlem rocker
war pass if healthy ?
pyro ?
me ?
casino drive ?
j be k ?
tiz it ?
any of them ?

Guess he missed out by not showing up today. Coulda been a contendah!!!

yea.

you don't get an unlimited number of guesses. . . but I think you got one or two of the ones I was thinking. Roman Emperor is really not a good horse - I'd be more interested in Barrier Reef if he ever resurfaces.

roman emperor did give barrier reef everything he could handle... i agree with you roman emperor is not great... but no one is... and with his pedigree, and running style, he might be a good one this summer.

Why don't you just bet an all/all exacta??? With the exception of you, of course...

I already posted this in another thread about a week ago, but I'll re-post it again here. Apparently not everybody saw it.
After careful consideration and the due preparation, here is my Travers play:

I'm going with:
$5 exacta box: 2-5
$1 trifecta: 2,5 / 2,5,7 / 1,2,5,7

The #2 figures to get a good ground-saving and stalking trip and should be ready to pounce coming off the second turn. I think the only one likely to beat him is the #5 because he looks like the lone speed, and given his impressive wire-to-wire performance in his last, and his strong series of works over this track, he should be a big factor.
If the #5 gets hooked early, look for the #7 and the #1 to benefit and come flying late. The #7 should improve returning to dirt, and we all know how the #1's connections have been performing at the Saratoga meet so far.

I think you're foolish to dismiss the #3 in this spot. I mean, I respect your handicapping skills and we all saw what the #2 is capable of. But I don't see how you can't include the #3, especially at that price.

And the connections of the #1 piss me off.

Yeah, the #3 is okay, but I got a tip that he is going to scratch.
I was playing Dungeons and Dragons with his groom last night, and he told me that the colt is skipping the Travers and just going to train up to the Super Derby. I don't know how the connections think he is going to win there given how the #4 horse in that race has looked recently, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Ummm.....the #4 ran a 77 Beyer in his most recent.

losser.

Speller.

bum

i love when ppl correct spelling, like anyone cares ?

I love it when people throw around ramdom insults for no reason, like you.

this was a serious thread.. and you are acting like a rat.
and i never insult, this is actually the first time.

I am sorry if we somehow detracted from the seriousness of a thread that started out with you (sort-of) predicting who will win a race that is months away by providing us all with a series of vaguely-worded clues.

Go on with the chlorophyll.

lol you are correct, i am sorry justin

So who was the Travers winner PG was hinting to?!?!?!

roman emperor

Cool. Whoever it is, I don't think it's coming out of that travesty of a Belmont, or the Preakness for that matter..

I'd like to see Proud Spell in the Travers this year, she'll get 3 lbs and if a filly were to have a good chance, this would be the year you have to think.

think it might be the goal, why not especially this year. she would be the favorite right now.

I hate to break up tonight's MENSA meeting but have you really thought this one through?

Proud Spell will be in the Alabama if she runs at Saratoga. You might want to think about who her trainer is for a second or two.

thank you, correct, he would never run her against the boys... not after the derby tragedy.

Jones was wrongly criticized for putting a filly in the derby, you have to wonder will he do the same thing for the Travers and that pressure will prevent him from doing it. But try telling that to Makybe Diva's connections that a filly doesn't belong against the boys. It was a ridiculous criticism to begin with.

Yep just beat me to the punch.
