Totally agree. Ultra impressive. Track was slow as ****. That was an awesome performance.

How so? Hasn't it been pretty clear all year that he's one of the best in the crop?

Oxbow's looking at a likely soft tissue injury to his right ankle according to NJ state vet Deb Lamparter. X-rays were negative. Stevens is saying he never felt comfortable, also that he walks sound but doesn't jog sound.

Sorry to hear that. Huge fan of Oxbow. Game animal.

Will he be in the Travers for sure? Todd can be pretty conservative and he has other ones for that already...no sure thing he is in the gate.

Todd said after the race that they'd take a look at the Travers, but who knows what they'll actually end up doing with him.

I agree with this. I'm not sure that Pletcher would want to see Verrazano and Palace Malice slug it out for the first 3/4's of the Travers and have someone else benifit and pick up the pieces. I'd be suprised if both were in the gate for the Travers.

I agree, I'm guessing Verrazano to the PA Derby.

I would cut him back for the Kings Bishop. If he pairs that up with today, he would be a solid contender for best 3yr old. Hard to imagine Orb not firing a big race for the Travers. And Palace Malice finally ran fast yesterday.
