The Travers - So who'd ya like ?

Can't believe there is nary a thread i could find on the Travers,

For some reason I'm thinkng the Jim Dandy latecomers Afleet Express and Fly Down boxed with Trappe Shot will be my bet.

Good luck to you, I guess your hoping for a slow pace compromising the deep closers ..... no 6 in your selections.

I may be wrong but, I think the 6 is a little to slow for these.

You rarely get a very fast pace at 1 1/4 mile distance at Saratoga.

Good Luck,

I was reading Ics Box is excitable. Zito hopes he can channel all his energy towards the race. I'm hoping that if there is some contention up front he can continue on the path he was starting in Florida and Kentucky. I don't have a strong opinion on this race at all but I'm thinking that if today is the last chance to get IB at a very good price, and if the FD and KD were better indicators of his potential form than the Belmont, then maybe today will be the day to play him. Then again he might disappoint again.
Heading up now for the 3 hour journey. Good Luck!

TRAPPE SHOT had a pretty awful trip in the Haskell. He broke last from the gate, was wide on both turns, and still finished a very good second to Lookin At Lucky.

Travers

I think Trappe Shot continues to improve here......he ran well in the Haskell, and has no Lucky to contend with this time.

Trappe Shot takes it from Afleet Express (another with his best races ahead of him).
