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.

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.

The Woodward is next weekend. Isn't that a bit early to run back?

Yeah - I hear ya.

His Saratoga form is pretty good and his biggest achievement so far is just staying healthy and getting a little better all the time.

Like Lookin at Sucky last year -- he was also an expensive 2yo sales buy -- who was a pretty ok 2yo and just kept healthy.

2nd and 3rd in the Travers had to suck-up from that hot pace.

How did Coil not pass Shackleford in the stretch?

I looked to my brother entering the turn and said DFL to te horse he bet, Shack.

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