The Travers

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Trappe Shot was 5/2 in the betting today - in what was his Graded Stakes debut. What does that tell you about how great this field was?

He was coming off of a 2.5 length win over Nacho Friend in a race where he faced only 3 opponents.

Nacho Friend is 0-for-6 lifetime in stakes races .. he failed to even win or finish 2nd in his first five attempts - losing to such fine winners as Backtalk, Awesome Act, Endorsement, Ibboyee, and Afleet Express.

why is anyone excited about a 3-5 shot winning a race?

Is it all about betting? I would enjoy horse racing even if I did not/could not bet for a while or at all anymore.
