![]() At least we still have Alpha....
|
#3
|
|||
|
|||
![]() Two years in a row where the Travers favorite finished 12th in the Kentucky Derby.
|
#4
|
|||
|
|||
![]() That is exactly what I was thinking.
|
#5
|
|||
|
|||
![]() This Travers is as easy as I can remember. No one but Alpha or Neck n Neck can win this race. Everyone else just stinks. And that's including my man Bobs horse.

#6
|
||||
|
||||
![]() Neck N Neck for me on a dry strip. There are quite a few in there that have no chance whatsoever.

![]() No love for Street Life? Or Liaison? I really like Alpha, but I'm looking for one or both of these two to step up.
|
#8
|

|

![]() Any strong opinions for the Test?
|
#9
|
|||
|
|||
![]() not a travers historian by any stretch. but, have watched everyone since 1986. this one has gotta be bottom 3.
|
#10
|

|
||||
![]() The last five were dreadful, and the Sea Hero one was awful too.
|
#11
|
|||
|
|||
![]() sea hero may have been 1-9 against these.....
|
#12
|
||||
|
||||
![]() Sea Hero would qualify as an iron horse these days.
|
#13
|
|||
|
|||
![]() 2 chalks and the far outside horse with Cohen.
|
#14

![]() Is Battle Hardened a live price or a trap in the 8th? He is 15-1ML, but feels like he will be around 6-1 at post time. Eddie K has great stats first time turf and dirt to turf. There is no speed in this race at all. He figures to be right up on the lead. Looking for some opinions on this race and this horse.

![]() thud!

#17
|
|||
|
|||
![]() Could the NBC coverage of the Travers finish have been any worse? Did they record it from the nosebleed section? I needed a magnifying glass to see whose nose was where. Would've been nice to watch the dead heat happen. Even in the replays, I'm not sure what they're trying to do. Generate excitement by showing everybody else in the field at the finish? Close finish = close up.

![]() Since Nonios was nowhere to be seen -- I wanted Zito to win! Nothing beats a Zito victory celebration.
