Yeah I'm pretty excited about it too but I was for the Arlington Million card also and that was a letdown with all chalk.Just hoping Pletcher doesn't dominate .If Uncle Mo wins the Kings Bishop,Stay Thirsty wins the Travers, and Super Espresso wins the Personal Ensign I might quit.

I'm just so sick of Pletcher and Baffert winning everything .They get all the top stock and everyone else gets their leftovers.They should have GI,GII,GIII's and then Grade Pletcher/Baffert where they can compete against each other .

[sandyw123]

I actually like JWBlue in the Travers (and he's not a Baffert horse). I looked at his past performances, and it's interesting. He's always narrowing the gap at the end of 1 1/8 mile races, came in right behind Ruler on Ice in a recent race at that distance. 1 1/4 mile might be a good distance for him, and he's a closer. I think I'll box him with Coil, Stay Thirsty, and Ruler on Ice.

[nomar122977]

they need to cut the speed down at the spa its been a big trend lately and seem like no one chalenges a horse when he get loose on the front end.

Anthony Dutrow is on fire.Pretty sure his horses are 10 for 12 in the money at Saratoga.Will have to see how he stacks up after they draw the card tomorrow but I was interested in JW Blue as well.

I know it seems like that but I would be careful before assigning a bias.Its pretty much who is the fastest early among the logical horses that wins at the Spa.I would only say there is a really strong speed bias when 30-1 shots start wiring the field.

If JW Blue draws a 7 - 9 post, I'm definitely putting him in an exotic wager. I'd have to also go with Stay Thirsty, since he really likes the track. It might be a sixteenth of a mile too long a distance for Shackelford.

Seriously, what was that, a work out?

[TonyP]

I had the 4

[Poppa Catfish]

I had the 4

I expected him to be bet way down, what with him winning at this distance at this very same track against some of the field last out, what is everybody at Saratoga smoking?

[nomar122977]

even worse than a workout only horse that scared me was the 4 i had the 7 and 8 with 5

[TonyP]
