One thing I am certain of, Practical Joke will be the favorite at around 7/5 in the Kings Bishop. I have no idea why people are saying American Anthem will be, he is gonna be around 3/1, Takiful will be about 4/1 and then I see a drop.

Favored? Over Baffert and Pletcher? No way

I am, but I think he will be overbet in this spot. I will use in multi races but value wise there wont be any.

He's not fast enough to beat Coal Front or American Anthem and he will be way overbet. I always look for the pricey cutback in this race but not this year. It's 2 deep chalks for me.

Here are my Travers Day stakes opinions since im being accused of copying Andy and now Gabby via PM.

Personal Ensign
Forever Unbridled is my main use. Maybe a little Going for Broke as a backup. Toss Songbird. Ill be making a huge win bet if i get 3-1 on FU.
The Ballerina
Nothing clever except maybe Highway Star. Using 4 of the 7. Carina Mia is the most likely winner.
The Kings Bishop
Coal Front and American Anthem should be tough from right on top of the pace. Will b/u with a little Tale of Silence as he ia the cutback closer I want at a big price.
The Forgo
Drefong is an absolute standout lock cinch. Good luck catching him. Bob knows, win this and defend in the BC sprint he wins the eclipse off 2 wins.
The Sword Dancer
I think Erupt and Idaho are the horses to beat, even though I know there is a big negative formulator stat floating around for Aidan Obrien. Ill use Money Multiplier equally with the Euros out of respect for Chad.
The Travers
I have 2 mains and a b/u. Westcoast and Good Samaritan are my As with a little Fayeq at a huge price.
The Ballston Spa
Im using Antonoe as i think the cutback will be the equalizer vs Lady Eli. Im giving Time and Motion another chance here also. Ill use those 2 equally and hope for Time and Motion.

Good luck
