prediction time!

With a clean trip, A.P. will win this race by 5-10 lengths if he doesn't try.

11-15 if he does try.

off odds will be 1-9. Hit the all button for the minors.

So beat the horse up for no other reason, other then to make you right? The race was over down the backstretch.

It was a field in which Keen Ice ran second. The race was over before it began.

I think Upstart ran well, especially considering the layoff. He attacked, made a move and flattened out. I would love to see him turn back for the Kings Bishop. And if AP doesn't show up I think he'd be a major threat to win the Travers.

Its really not that confusing, is it? I think he will obviously move forward and be a threat in either spot. Personally I would like to see him turn back for the Kings Bishop then either stretch back out for the PA Derby or Kelso. But if AP were to skip the Travers, I think he could also be a major player in that race. Upstart ran very well sprinting as a 2yr old, and stretched out well because of his class IMO. I think he would be a bull in 1 turn races. But again, the crop other then AP is soft. So if he were to go in the Travers I think he would contend.
