Yep.

Likely ran a 105 Beyer there today and ran hard the whole way. Slevin had a dream trip and got drowned -- and he's a horse who ran in the 89-to-92 range each of his last five outs. Third place was coming off of a 91.

I like Raison D'etat in the Travers. By AP Indy - Sightseek so distance not an issue.

What an eyesore that race was.

Rattlesnake Bridge could have run him down if he didn't run like a drunk the last 1/8th of a mile.

Around which turn?

You can say that again. The contrast from a scintillating and brilliant King's Bishop to that staggerfest was unfortunate.

this Travers sucks, Coil magically dissappeared, and the wiseguy horse never ran a lick

You guys are a tough crowd. I thought Stay Thirsty ran pretty darn well to survive that hot pace.

Stay Thirsty would have jogged home the Colonel John/Mambo in Seattle year when Mambo got beat with that brutal nose bob.

Yeah, Stay Thirsty was really the only one who ran. He has certainly improved a great deal since the spring. But how good is he really?

At least it appears To Honor and Serve is back after his race on Friday. Uncle Mo ran really well and hopefully Pletcher can squeeze a few more races out of him.

I always thought the Street Sense/Grasshopper epic battle was vastly overrated too.
