Maybe it was just wishful thinking
I read somewhere that TMB would stay in cali until november--I wish I could remember where.
songster I a really nice colt and I agree that he may have been short last out but the general betting public will only see that he was a beaten favorite...meanwhile Henny is a monster (I'm very biased here i admit it) who has never been off the board. And he beat TMB last year running second to first sam in the hopeful (I think it was the hopeful) anyway I think he will get hammered on the day.

I cant see Henny being any higher than 3/5. This horse ruined me last Travers Day. Bernardini will probably be 3/5 as well. Even with the race Bluegrass Cat put in....
1) It was in NJ, not at Saratoga. 2)Everybody remembers Bernardini's romp in the Jim Dandy at Saratoga. 3) Hes a triple crown race winner. 4) Cat ran 2nd in the big one but it was a distant 2nd and not many will remember nor care.

Scavs- Not at all a bad parlay if you could get 3/2 and even money but I think your wishfully thinking.

3/5 and 3/5 makes your $200 parlay $512.

$512 is nice but it isn't $1k, all depended on Henny, will have to wait until race, 3/2 and I take my chance that Bern is even money, if Henny is lower then that, no love for the parlay...

I think you are looking at 2/5 and 2/5.

Bern was 1/2 in a race with NO ONE in it, and now you get Bluegrass Cat and Strong Contender......no way Bern is 2/5, not a chance in hell

I'll give you 3/5 on Henny. Minimum $10k wager.

He will be a shorter price than he was in the Jim Dandy. Bluegrass Cat and Strong Contender are garbage and no real money will be bet on them. Bernardini might even be bet down to 1-5.

I don't know if I'd call either of them garbage, but BGC doesn't seem like he's as well-known to the general public, and SC hasn't really proven that he can run with either BGC or Bernardini. I think Bernardini will be even-money at the highest.

If there is a DD, why not just look at the prices for that and make a decision then? Aren't they back to back races?

I hope so but I doubt it, probably put a turf race before the Travers
