Hes not a speed horse. I think he takes back here, maybe sits 5th or 6th and hope the pace falls apart and makes one late run but falls very short of catching Bernardini. He'll be all out to get 2nd from the other Pletcher horse.

Beating Bellamy Road and Roman Ruler are one thing but beating Bernardini is quite another. Pletecher has a very tall task in front of him to get another Travers. But it would be a feather in his cap if he could pull it off.

Man, you love to be negative about horses. Bellamy Road was not ready to run that day, and although Roman Ruler certainly isn't a world beater, he was just coming off a couple of VERY nice wins heading into the Travers. Last year's performance by Flower Alley in the Travers was very, very gutty.
