Why don't you just bet an all/all exacta??? With the exception of you, of course...

I already posted this in another thread about a week ago, but I'll re-post it again here. Apparently not everybody saw it.
After careful consideration and the due preparation, here is my Travers play:

I'm going with:
$5 exacta box: 2-5
$1 trifecta: 2,5 / 2,5,7 / 1,2,5,7

The #2 figures to get a good ground-saving and stalking trip and should be ready to pounce coming off the second turn. I think the only one likely to beat him is the #5 because he looks like the lone speed, and given his impressive wire-to-wire performance in his last, and his strong series of works over this track, he should be a big factor.
If the #5 gets hooked early, look for the #7 and the #1 to benefit and come flying late. The #7 should improve returning to dirt, and we all know how the #1's connections have been performing at the Saratoga meet so far.

I think you're foolish to dismiss the #3 in this spot. I mean, I respect your handicapping skills and we all saw what the #2 is capable of. But I don't see how you can't include the #3, especially at that price.

And the connections of the #1 piss me off.

Yeah, the #3 is okay, but I got a tip that he is going to scratch.
I was playing Dungeons and Dragons with his groom last night, and he told me that the colt is skipping the Travers and just going to train up to the Super Derby. I don't know how the connections think he is going to win there given how the #4 horse in that race has looked recently, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Ummm.....the #4 ran a 77 Beyer in his most recent.
