Correct, but i am betting on the stars aligning for this horse. I think they get it right here

Honestly I really dont think the stars have to align, but if they did that would be great. I think the work yesterday showed alot. He took to the surface tremendously. Hes put on some weight and looks extremely healthy and seems to be feeling pretty damn good too! Dont underestimate the power of Saratoga Racecourse lol. Horse for the course has never rang more true than at Saratoga. Some horses win there and dont win again until the following year when they come back. The ease he worked that bullet sold me on this horse for the Travers.

For what it's worth I think he will like Saratoga more than Mountaineer, I'm just not sure he will be a fair price but who knows we've seen some strange prices at the Spa these 1st 2 weeks, however I won't be banging the door down to bet him. Goodluck if you you have a strong opinion about him.

Right and I say all this thinking I will be getting between 3 1/2 to 5-1. anything around 2-1 to 3-1 ill be spreading my bets around a little bit more. 5-1 everything goes on MTB
