Haven't gotten the group in the Ballston Spa figured out the last two times and not sure why that would change!!!!! If it wasn't for Steve pointing me to Laughing last time then it would have cost me even more......

Race completely changed for most when Palice Malice missed the break, but Will Take Charge was mid pack so the race was pretty fair for all.

I agree. The only thing I wonder is if Orb might have finished slightly better had he been asked later? Tough call though when you see the hole up the rail.

I cant blame the rider for any of that, sure maybe he has to be ridden for one burst because as a grinder he sure seems like a G2 type horse, he has no real turn of foot.

A stunning display of incompetent riding by Mike Smith today.

I'm not sure what race you were watching but P.M. broke awkward and bobbled coming out of that gate, witch took him out of game. Incompetent would be Durkin not being to call the winner of the Travers and him not being able to call Central Banker 3rd in the King Bishop!

The only think I think Mike should have done differently is try to cut the corner on My Happy Face, other than that its just the way races unfolded.

I mentioned on the selections thread after the race that I missed the bad break initially. However, the fact that he didn't go to the front on Pianist and didn't take Let Em Shine to the rail on the lead and try to wire them is mind boggling to me.

I've been trying to watch the live post-Travers show but it looks like the NYRA website went down. Anybody else having that problem?

WTC hasn't put together 2 good races in a row for quite some time until today. Might be turning a corner and become the real deal.
