The Travers is coming up real weak. I dont think hes avoiding any of these cows. Its more of a timing thing and it makes total sense. Why rush a horse back to run in a glorified Grade 3 against crows hes already crushed?

exactly... eventhough it was a 1 million dollar race!

who the hell would he avoid in the Travers? Hes beaten basically all the colts in his division already... save Harlem Rocker who I really doubt scares dutrow all that much.

If Harlem Rocker runs to all the hype, he will win the Travers under a hand ride. You can forget about getting a price on him. Mambo in Seattle is the other logical horse who is the up and comer, but may be an underlay in a race crying out for a bomb. I'm glad Pletcher ran Atoned in the Haskell (and not the Travers) because if he was in the Travers, I would have taken a huge shot with him. Man, he ran terrible. Stop like he had a piano dropped on him.

So you are basically saying it finally dawned on you that Atoned is GROSSLY overrated.. Hopefully it didn't cost too much to come to that conclusion.

No, I said I would have bet Atoned in the Travers, not the Haskell against Big Brown. I just cant bet on or against Big Brown, not since the Derby.
And I never thought he was talented, but he would have fit really well in the Travers against what will be a bunch of Grade 3 horses, which is what Atoned is. Overrated? Maybe. But isnt Pyro also very overrated? And Z Fortune? So too Court Vision? At least Atoned may have been a price.

Methinks 'blinkers on' did not help this fellow. Look for 'blinkers off' next out.
