Spurrier can win, infact should

admirality, should get a great setup and with a forward move, he could be the one.

his second to casino was not bad.... it all depends on what you think of casino.. the number was strong enough

I think it's funny that most everyone has been talking about how weak this year's 3YOs have been and yet when an exciting one finally appears people are suggesting that the morass of mediocrities are somehow going to beat him.

I'm excited to see him run, but "Travers Winner Runs Friday" is probably going to elicit some negativity.

In general it's a little silly but right now he's not far from the early favorite.

If he runs a similar race tomorrow, I'll be on the bandwagon.

By the way, I was gonna bet Stormy Mirage, but I got no value.

i have looked over the race again, i would be shocked if mint lane beats him... the horse to watch is zitos, 2 horse race in my opinion

But hasn't it been fun re-living the ride, the quarter crack and the heat of last Saturday?

Hoping for something new to talk about...go Unbridled's Heart!
