![]() Anyone know why You and I Forever is not in the Travers? All the reports were that he would be entered.

![]() No, I was wondering the same thing.
Also, Acai also passed on the race. Very strange as both trainers were talking up both of these horses. |

![]() Bill Mott came up with some odd excuse (see DRF) - that he and the owner weren't sure if the colt would handle 1 1/4 because his dam (You) did not relish longer distances. LOL This is a joke -I guess Mott forgot that the colt also has a sire who's offspring greatly prefer two turns. Instead, he's pointing You and I Forever to the PA Derby......sheesh. I'm extremely annoyed at Bill Mott to say the least. What an imbecilic decision.
http://www.drf.com/news/article/97492.html He's rather run Court Vision, who has no hope at all. I need a rolling eyes smiley. |

![]() HurricaneFrank,
I just think it's the wrong move. The Travers is the Travers and the PA Derby is not. How does Mott know that his colt can't get the 1 1/4? He runs Alazao, a mediocrity, in the Haskell against Big Brown; he throws Mushka, off of one race in many months, against the best 3 year old fillies in the Alabama, but he won't try his promising colt in a wide open Travers? Foolish decision and inconsistent with his other recent decisions. I know he couldn't possibly think that Alaazo or Mushka had much chance......... |

You can't possibly believe it was his call to run Mushka in that race.

Mambo in Seattle and Harlem Rocker are much better horses than Coal Play and Smooth Air. The both have the potential to be extremely talented horses. The other two are really just grade 2 horses that are beating nothing. |

One of a trainer's jobs is to take the heat for their owner's misguided decisions. There is no way Mott wanted to run her in the Alabama....and even less chance he was confident in her chances.

![]() Andy, what do you think about Mott's decision? I forget who owns You and I Forever, but if Mott thought the colt should be in the Travers, I'm sure the owner would give it a shot.
Also, do you give Cool Coal Man any kind of a shot? I was kind of disappointed by his Haskell effort -and shocked by Coal Play's - but I guess a part of me hopes that CCM will live up to the promise he showed late last year and earlier this year. Thus far, I've been disappointed. Maybe he'll be better as an older horse. Speaking of Coal Play, any idea where Nick is going to point this colt? I'm hoping his Haskell wasn't a fluke, but that's more a hope than an expectation. |

I obviously haven't been paying attention...is this the return of the VI?
