Not sure what you're saying here as a response to what I wrote. In fact, it is indecipherable.

"Get up for 2nd?" That would imply that Mambo in Seattle arrived late on the scene passing horses near the finish to gain the placement behind a clear winner. In fact, he hooked up with the winner approaching midstretch and dueled to the wire to lose what was the closest photograph in the history of the Travers, and one that many thought a dead heat.

My point was empathy for Howard and what I believe was the better horse Saturday in Mambo in Seattle, and additionally that while Colonel John is an admirable horse having a nice year, the Casner/Walden WinStar team are not endearing subjects for fan adulation.
