Pletcher
Hilda's Passion injured and done for the year.
With 3 solid races in a row who thinks Stay Thirsty is about to go bad? He must now leave Saratoga (his favorite track) and hold his form for a barn that can't keep a horse right for any extended time.
He may run well at Bel in JCGC but my money says he's nowhere in the BC Classic at low odds.

Maybe Pletcher will couple him in the BC with Life at Ten.

You're telling me that if he does that, he doesn't deserve year end honors?
I never said he deserves it NOW...  |
You could say that about any Three-Year-Old right now. Any horse that wins the JCGC and Breeders' Cup Classic would be Champion three year old at this point.

yea if a 3 year old wins the JC Gold Cup and Breeders Cup Classic they would be 3 year old and horse of the year, but i can't see any of these 3 year olds hitting the board in the classic, they all look like they are running in quicksand down the lane in every race

Excuse the bad joke, but to say that Coil never got unwound would be an understatement. My selection, Shackleford, did not do much better, fading to 8th. Earlier in the day took gas on Tar Heel Mom and Flashpoint. A horrible Travers day, and no better at other tracks. Should have stayed home and watched the kids play baseball.

He ran more like a slinky than a horse uncoiled!

May be too simplistic in thinking but seems like Pletcher is either really hot or really cold on racing's biggest days. Saturday he was a head and a nose from sweeping the all stakes Pick 4.

Is Stay Thirsty the new Lawyer Ron at Saratoga this year?
Interested to see how he runs on another track,
after these two big victories.
No disrespect for ST,.....just curious....  . |
Is the jury in or out?

Interested to see with Uncle Mo back if they run ST in the BC.
And if they do double digit odds for Stay Thirsty?

"He didn't handle the track too well," Castellano said. "I know when he ran in the Belmont, it was a sloppy track and had a lot of puddles, a lot of water. He liked that. Today, unfortunately, it was tiring, sticky-muddy, and he wasn't very comfortable with that."

His two big efforts and then this trip will make him the Quality Road of this year's Classic.

Migliore had an interesting comment. He kind of got tag teamed by the entry, and being the grinder type horse he is, have to slow down and move around doomed him because he doesn't have that big burst. I'm not ready to write him off just yet off that trip.
