They came home in 14, to me the horse sucks. I hope he gets bet off the comments in the Travers.

Maybe Big Drama just is a sprinter, that was an easy lead on a speed track, that is pretty weak

guess the questions of why Calvin got off etc will cease. Borail turns out to be the smartest of the bunch.

Got to agree although letening to him and seeing him well up at a drop of a coin a little disconcerning. I bet he's a great poker player.

Interesting comment from Left Bank regarding RD, also the rabbit part, in truth MTB resembles Better Talk Now in many ways, I would say it wasn't coincidental that only when he got the right rider that he started winning all those grade 1's, he had Douglas and Prado among others on him and none were able to get as much out of him then RD. Shake the Bank deserves only a smigeon of that credit as he set up the race for other horses as well as BTN.

I don't see how. It's not like Warrior's Reward did anything special today. Out of the two going forward to the Travers, I'd take MTB.

All races he ran except for those that he won are all tosses. He is a much much better horse than all his loses should indicate.
