I doubt Charitable Man will run in the Travers as word has it the horse has physical issues and is often being seen by the vet.

Going to be interesting to see who goes in the Travers. Kensei supposedly has distance limitations but you would never know it from yesterday's race.
no physical issues aside from grabbing a quarter in the Belmont. He hasn't missed a work since January. And you are right, Kensei ran extremely well. however I think he may have a much better stable mate!

Charitable Man was fast last year, but there are numerous horses that have developed more than him. The sheets guys keep trying to give him big figures for going wide again and again, but this horse just doesn't appear to really want to win when he looks competitive animals in the eye. A classic money burner IMO.

I think you might be right.
