I dont see how Trappe Shot can ever make this difference up, L@L will only get better. He is not done improving and getting better, I truly believe that. When this year is over, we are going to go from thinking this crop sucked and maybe it does as a group, but he will stand out as a REALLY REALLY GOOD HORSE.

Great group? As Coach Pants so eloquently stated before the race ... "all of these horses suck"

Ok.... Derby and Preakness 1-2 in the race, Trappe Shot... Um How many DT members were crazy about him? Large win bet over 3-1, top beyer, thats what we have been hearing in the other thread. He ROLLED HOME TODAY.

Trappe Shot was 5/2 in the betting today - in what was his Graded Stakes debut. What does that tell you about how great this field was?

He was coming off of a 2.5 length win over Nacho Friend in a race where he faced only 3 opponents.

Nacho Friend is 0-for-6 lifetime in stakes races .. he failed to even win or finish 2nd in his first five attempts - losing to such fine winners as Backtalk, Awesome Act, Endorsement, Ibboyee, and Afleet Express.

why is anyone excited about a 3-5 shot winning a race?

Is it all about betting? I would enjoy horse racing even if I did not/could not bet for a while or at all anymore.

He probably will stand out as a very good horse in an extremely brutal crop.

I also thought that Trapp Shot ran a pretty good race despite Garcia giving him a tour of the entire Monmouth main track. Probably didn't matter anyway as LAL was much the best.

Well QR is not going to the JCGC.... Z wont ship, L@L would destroy Rachel at 10f.... Im guessing by then Bob has him PEAKING. What happens when he wins the Travers-JCGC, is he then a pos?
