I hope they cut Trappe Shot back to 7 furlongs for the King's Bishop where he would be very tough to beat... but they'll probably follow the money into the Travers.

Omniscient (winner of Race #3) will get the exact same Beyer figure that Lookin At Lucky will unless the choose to split it. No way in hell it's a 115

Do you think Trappe Shot doesn't want to go 1 1/4 or just that this was a hard race and you think he'd be better of skipping the Travers? He's a very talented colt- I was impressed, even though he was clearly 2nd best.

I think he could get 10fs ... but I also think he's a lot better at 7fs at this stage of his development. MOTO take I would think.

Thanks! I'll be waiting to hear from McLaughlin........I do think they'll go Travers.
