HurricaneFrank,
I just think it's the wrong move. The Travers is the Travers and the PA Derby is not. How does Mott know that his colt can't get the 1 1/4? He runs Alazao, a mediocrity, in the Haskell against Big Brown; he throws Mushka, off of one race in many months, against the best 3 year old fillies in the Alabama, but he won't try his promising colt in a wide open Travers? Foolish decision and inconsistent with his other recent decisions. I know he couldn't possibly think that Alaazo or Mushka had much chance.........
