Travel Advisory was moving well and was just inside of Najjar coming into the stretch. Najjar was kept clear and Manny Cruz (please,please,please go back to Calder) on Travel Advisory tried to split horses and got totally shut off. I don't think he was winning the race anyway, but he seemed to be moving with Najjar. He ended up 10th and the chart comment is "failed to respond" so I'm kind of interested in seeing where he shows up. His turf races before this were solid, so maybe next time on the grass at Churchill with a better price than he would have been normally based on today's 10th?

That was a good catch on Travel Advisory, although the only way you could have seen it is if you were focusing on him (because you bet him?).
I originally thought Najjar would have won on a completely fair surface, but after watching the replay, you were spot on about Travel Advisory. I was thinking about betting him, but post 12 and Kellyn Gorder firing 2% at Keeneland kept me from taking the plunge.
