Two years in a row where the Travers favorite finished 12th in the Kentucky Derby.

This Travers is as easy as I can remember. No one but Alpha or Neck n Neck can win this race. Everyone else just stinks. And that's including my man Bobs horse.

Neck N Neck for me on a dry strip. There are quite a few in there that have no chance whatsoever.

No love for Street Life? Or Liaison? I really like Alpha, but I'm looking for one or both of these two to step up.

I don't want to give up on Liaison, but he's been really frustrating.

I don't understand the love for Alpha and Neck n' Neck but what do I know.

This is not exactly the most exciting field in the world...

In addition to being disappointed in the Travers field, I'm also dissatisfied with Friday & Saturdays card. There isn't one race either day for 1 1/8 on the main track. I'll be there in person both days, but I'm not as excited in years past.
The weather will be great and i'll enjoy myself, but I think it's odd not to be able to card a route race either day.
