the pick 4 might be impossible to hit, i see 6 deep in the travers and thats leaving harlem rocker out, i see 5 deep in the bishop and thats leaving j be k out.... i dont think russell bazes horse is a lock either, and the turf race is tough, im hoping war monger turns it around, but no way can you single there

i think it would be insane to leave j be k out. Just my opinion. This horse is a freak and he romped in his maiden at Saratoga.. And I dont understand going 6 deep in the travers and not having harlem rocker. I dont see harlem being a cinch by any means, but I also cant find 6 horses I'd like better than him...

i cant use j be k, almost the same reasson why i pounded proud spell last week, his best race is no better then a few in here, then i also like wards horse and matz horse from out of the clouds, i just dont get using j be k at no price in the bishop i like the 1,4,6,7,10, IMO j be k has defeated no one, he continues to beat the lukas horse who is nothing special, saturday he faces some very serious horses, desert key, and kodiak are very very good, better then anything j be k has ever seen
in the travers i like 2,3,5,9,11,12

i have 3 days to trim it down and i will try to, but IMO j be k is the biggest play against on the card

Good luck, I just dont see J be K losing in the form he's in. But that is why they run the race!

Good betting race. I'll get to see the best 3 year old colts in the country run on Saturday. Doesn't get much better than that.

I think the only way to play the King's Bishop is to look for a speed duel between Desert Key and J Be K. They're both so fast/talented that I think they'll take each other out - Johnny V. says he's going to rate with Desert Key but that horse is a little headstrong. I'll rely on Kodiak Kowboy but also use some of the higher priced off-the-pace types.

I like Jerken's horse Desert Key. The race he ran against Kodiak Bear was simply amazing. One of the gutsiest efforts I have ever seen. Shame he lost. Kodiak Bear had perfect trip and still only got by him by an inch.
I believe I have found my single for Saturday's late picks.

So when he'd finished posting, he turned back towards the window,
Looked at the OTB in his yard, and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, old PG didn't break even,
But in his final words, I found a moron that I could keep.

The Travers is infinitely more interesting than I ever would have imagined it would be in the spring. It looks very competitive.

Great Travers Card. If the weather stays fine, NYRA could have a great day.
Most interesting Travers field I've seen in many years. Good luck everyone!!
