The season is not over yet. Some flowers bloom in the fall.

I meant that comment more tounge-in-cheek than anything, but the leaves fall in the fall, too.

I've been frustrated  to the max all week....we're harvesting our malt barley for Budweiser and have no time for the puter... but I had to get over here to see what's going on...
Looks to me like the Travers is a deep field...regardless of the 'caliber'...these are a bunch of talented horses...and I can't wait to see the race (set our TV to record).
No time to cehck the charts, so I'm just gonna toss in my picks and look forward to a great race.
If I was able to bet, I think at 20-1, Tale of Ekati is a solid choice...and I so admire Tagg and love to see him do good...my 'sentimental' pick is Tale of Ekati...
1-Tale of Ekati
2-Pyro
3-Harlem Rocker
4-Tiz Big
I think it's anyone's race...Cool Coal Man, Mambo in SEattle, Tres Borrachos, Amped...hell, they all look good!!!
I want to see Barclay Tagg in the winner's circle!!
Good luck to all....come home safe.

ANYONE BUT PYRO
Logic may prevail to make him a parimutuel choice, but I don't think this one is much more than a plodder.
