at 40/1 yea, at 6/5 in say a 3yo grade 2 stake, no thanks.

Gunnavera strikes me as a horse who has plenty of ability but just needs the race to set up perfectly for him. When he gets the set-up (like he did in the Delta Jackpot), he can look awesome. When he doesn't, he looks ordinary.

Certainly a horse you should watch out for in these big races and ask yourself "is this race going to set up for him today?".

I thought he was good in the Travers, but that's generally my opinion of him also.

He won't be 6/5. Not happening.

Someday he's gonna get a decent trip. Is he good enough to win a BC Classic? Probably not but I could see him being in the money at a monsterous price.
