That didn't seem to be what Travis was implying at all. It in no way means Macho Again's only good at Saratoga. What I believe several of us are saying (including Steve if I'm remembering my At the Races well--please correct me if I'm wrong Steve) is that at this time in their seasons, Macho Again and Bullsbay had form that was strong and moving up. RA caught them when they'd be most primed this year to give her a tussle and she still beat them.

Of course, as usual, Haskin says it best: http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse...he-rescue.aspx
