Shitty thing about that Bishop for me is the 2 horses I want the most are likely going to destroy each other early.....

Let Em Shine and MAJESTIC HUSSAR.
Byk where did my sexy go? This is a sexy day!!!!

What a card! 14 for the King's Bishop. :eek:

Haven't gotten the group in the Ballston Spa figured out the last two times and not sure why that would change!!!!! If it wasn't for Steve pointing me to Laughing last time then it would have cost me even more......

GLTA

always excited for travers day, but is there really a need for 14 races?

-bt-

Can a fan or bettor really complain about that card?

people can find anything to complain about. i'd love to go to a track and have 14 to choose from.

i believe i can, just seems like too many races
and i don't think i'm the only one

Transparent is my longshot, could be peaking at the right time for this after not being up to snuff vs this bunch a few months ago.

And a head bob. Rita Moreno would've had it.

Pletchers monmouth game does not seem to Travel to Saratoga, Verrazano was done at the QP.

Verrazano needed the Throgs Neck to get there today. Yuck

Race completely changed for most when Palice Malice missed the break, but Will Take Charge was mid pack so the race was pretty fair for all.

A stunning display of incompetent riding by Mike Smith today.

I agree. The only thing I wonder is if Orb might have finished slightly better had he been asked later? Tough call though when you see the hole up the rail.

I cant blame the rider for any of that, sure maybe he has to be ridden for one burst because as a grinder he sure seems like a G2 type horse, he has no real turn of foot.

I've been trying to watch the live post-Travers show but it looks like the NYRA website went down. Anybody else having that problem?

Been down all day but they will have it on Youtube later.
