I'll pass on taking a short price in the Travers with a horse who is a combined 0-for-3 at Sunland and Mountaineer this year.
The horse himself has a history of pre-mature moves.
I thought his Preakness performance was overrated - as he got the dreamiest pace setup of a lifetime - and still managed to only finish 3 lengths in front of Flying Private.. and a half length in front of Musket Man. Both fellow closers a little less aided by the pace. Even Luv Gov and Terrain weren't beaten all that far.
Unless it's a sloppy track like the Derby .. where he exploded to that 105 Beyer .. I'll play against him.
