Does anybody have a prediction for what price Trappe Shot will be? This has the potential to be one of those situations that comes around very rarely.

Because you like him or because you hate him? It's tough to predict with such a deep field, but my guess would be at least 5-2 with all of the TC horses in. Maybe as high as 4-1 if people go nuts on Lucky.

[hockey2315]

Because I like him. I think he'll be much higher than 5-2.

He's the buzz horse and the Beyer horse, he won't go off higher than 4-1. I thought you said he was a cripple?

[hockey2315]

He was, but it looks like they've got him back together. I think he's by far the most talented in the field and there are four triple crown winners/placers to take a ton of money.

I have said for weeks only 2 horses can win the Haskell. Lucky or Trappe Shot. I agree with Joseph about the odds, I can see him being as low as 5-2 and as high as 9-2. Super Saver and Ice Box IMO are hopeless in this spot.

[Danzig]

you're not at all concerned with lucky having had an illness? i thought they said it would be close getting him here. at the price he'd be at, i fail to see a reason to choose him here.

how will this race unfold? pacesetters? will there be enough speed for the closers, ice box and afleet again? doesn't seem this will fit the bill for the two of them.

what to think of uptown, who fares well vs trappe shot in the mornings from what i've heard on the radio?

I think the crop is ripe for a newcomer... everyone who ran in the first part of the year who is still around is not anything particularly special...

i think so too. this crop seems pretty....bland. no standout, opportunity for a payoff by beating a favorite.

I wonder what the Super Saver and Ice Box exacta is going to pay.

Of the 2 Im heavily leaning towards Lucky winning this race.

NO WAY VJ. Derby winner and runner up 6-1? Trainer by Zito and Todd? NO WAY. Ice Box might be ignored a bit, but Super Saver WILL BE BET.

Gotta agree there SS will be bet but unless a horse with early speed enters Ice Box is just gonna be forgot about

Still would be nice to get 2 more horses in this field but who knows?

Trappe Shot, Super Saver and First Dude all have early speed. I gotta think Our Dark Knight would be on the pace also.

As if you could lean any other way.
