Admiral Alex in the Travers

He's probably not bad, but he's nowhere near the top horses in the Travers - whether or not it's a weak crop. The winning Beyer will probably be somewhere in the 105 range, and he's not stepping up and running anything like that here. . . especially second time out at 10f - if we're going to give him credit for winning at 9 first out, then what does that mean for winning at 10 second time out? A win over the track means nothing to me. . . this isn't Keeneland or Charles Town. . . and other horses have wins or big efforts over the track too.

As of now, who do you like in the Travers? I know its a few days away, and I know the pp's and all that matter. But we both know you follow, so dont come back with some corny response. For me A Little Warn, Miners Reserve, Afleet Again, Ice Box Super Saver and First Dude are all complete tosses.

i'll probably make a pretty big win bet on Afleet Express. . .

Funny because as of now him and Fly Down are my mains....
Someone is totally against Afleet Express. I would be more then happy to be live to those 2 in the big pick 4.

Im also close to making Trappe Shot a complete toss. He is likely most talented or second most talented behind Afleet, but the not being sure where they are running him is a big concern for me. Also the price wont be right, he will be under 3-1 and the chalk or second choice in the Travers.

Thank you not putting the mush on First Dude.

I only wish the comments by the faux internet intelligencia could be mocked on Sunday Morning/Saturday night.

Too funny.

he's blinkers on, isn't he? what do you think about that? i think it's an almost wide open affair, with no real standout. i don't like a couple of the horses chances in here, but i don't see a single either. i think a little warm is the best of the lot, but i'm not sure about the distance for him. guess we'll see!

Complete tosses? You would toss A little warm after that last race?

If any of those horses win, I will lose.
