"Get up for 2nd?" That would imply that Mambo in Seattle arrived late on the scene passing horses near the finish to gain the placement behind a clear winner. In fact, he hooked up with the winner approaching midstretch and dueled to the wire to lose what was the closest photograph in the history of the Travers, and one that many thought a dead heat.

My point was empathy for Howard and what I believe was the better horse Saturday in Mambo in Seattle, and additionally that while Colonel John is an admirable horse having a nice year, the Casner/Walden WinStar team are not endearing subjects for fan adulation.
Is the photo available anywhere online?

It's awful hard for me to say that a horse should have won or was the better horse when he had that long of a run to pass the winner and the winner was going as slow as he was (about 25.70 for the final quarter) and he STILL didn't.

i thought CJ should have got a hard look from the stewards for the move go-go made.

Macho Again didn't even get a chance to show his talents in this one either

Well we need to blame somebody for the dismal results of the Howard barn this year...and since Mr. Farish and Mr. Howard are such nice people they are automatically eliminated.

106 starts
1st-2nd-3rd
8-21-20

Wow. Seems like running second is contagious!! It's Alporado's fault!!! Off with his head!!

Good job, Mr. Farish. You have a fine barn of underachievers. Maybe you should spend a few million more and bump that win percentage to a whopping 10%. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. God save the queen.

Much like my supposed numerous TV appearances on Saturday....Macho Uno made a belated bid in this year's Travers.

GO to the DRF official charts on travers and it will explain all trouble by any horse. Everybody must have watched race with 15 beers in them. lol this was a good thread I'll say so myself.

Great idea. God knows the official charts are always 100% correct when describing trips.

I was picturing Macho Uno giving a breeding demonstration for the 40,000 in attendance with Sumitas planted front row on the rail watching eagerly.

Thanks, been looking for that photo. Racereplays.com decided not to post it.
As good of a ride Robbie gave, he badly misjudged the wire.
Guess he felt he was in front and it didnt matter.

I missed the race, except for hearing it over my cell off a friends tv.
Good thing I was made to go to a wedding, instead of KY Downs, because at 5.5-1 Mambo would have been a major win bet. Wouldve had no chance in getting saved thru the exacta, because I thought CJ was a non-contender.
