quality road should be about 1-5 against these sleds.

Gonna have to leave QR off of all win spots. Think he's best horse but too much to overcome. Gonna lean to Kensei for the win and Summer Bird for second.

I'm all over Kensei, in any spot, until he proves me otherwise. I also felt this about Munnings, so...He'll be back with a vengence though.

History says in the last 20 years the Derby and Belmont winners have done very well in the Travers. 2 Birds were better than one...

This is how I see it by post time for the top 3:

Quality Road 4/5
Kensei 3/1
Summer Bird 7/2

The only question mark is Chartible Man with the Ramon effect, he is often overbet and has the potential to skew the oddsboard.

QR can win this race but at 4/5, i have to take a chance against him. hes been out, hes never been the distance. besides i hate 4/5 shots. they call it gambling. if i wanted to play it safe . i'd play bridge with grandma!

I wouldn't touch him at his projected odds, however I respect him and he is strictly the horse to beat in my opinion, he looks to sit a great trip even with JV riding who I like to refer to as the "Mike Smith on the eastern seaboard." To me he and Summer Bird are the clear standouts in this race without RA and MTB in the field.
