Birdstone and M.D. have proven their worth as stallions so far.

Forego Day was one of my first times at Saratoga and I haven't been back since (To Forego Day. Not Saratoga!).

One or two of them would've run her ass down in the 10f Travers.


Might as well try to steal the shorter contest from the older mediocrities...

That's why the Woodward is the better choice. Bullsbay second. Asiatic Boy third . Greet the teller!

"After it was announced that Rachel Alexandra would go in the Woodward, the New York Racing Association announced the purse would be raised from $500,000 to $750,000."

This a waste of money in my opinion. She would have run in the race anyway, and there aren't any top class older horses around no matter what the purse is....

by making 2nd place worth 150K and 3rd worth 75K .. it at least should keep the field size more respectable.

I think there is a chance she draws a bigger crowd.

ESPN or FOX Sports Net picking this race up,? it'll be a shame to only have the TVG telecast.

Okay I will give you Bernardini, in what was a very forgettable running of the Travers. He was brilliantly talented but like so many recently, never really raced long enough to prove anything. Street Sense didnt really impress me all that much with that all out finish to beat Grasshopper, a horse who won how many races after that 2nd place finish in the Travers?

He liked Saratoga! Strong angle that made me $$. Then and at next years Whitney. Watchout at Saratoga for horses who have run well there or liked Churchill.

Yeah I know about that as long as LLWS doesn't run over, which always drives me nuts, but I was wondering about the Woodward.

I've always liked the Churchill-Saratoga angle as well, ever since Sea Hero.

Does this serve as a warning to those in the area?

Warrior's Reward should be running Saturday, either in a N2X or as a longshot in the King's Bishop because he's a one-turn horse IMO.

NT

Warrior's Reward will run by Quality Road like hes tied to a pole.....AND why would you think he's a one turn horse? Beacuse he destroyed Munnings in a one turn race at CD? Ian already has another horse to beat Munnings in the Kings Bishop (Capt. Candyman Can)....it's going to be a great weekend to be an Ian Wilkes fan....mark that down!
