The Travers!

[Calzone Lord]

It will be a great card -- and the Travers will be a fun race to watch -- but that looks like a very unappealing betting race.

I couldn't bet Orb with counterfeit money.

Verrazano will crush this field with a repeat, but his last race came with a perfect trip over an extremely dull race track.

Palace Malice ran a fast time in the Jim Dandy, especially considering Caxia Eletronica's time at the same distance in Race 1 that day, but the track almost certainly became much faster. It really did look like one of those classic brutally tough figuremaking days that Saratoga is known for.

Transparent isn't impossible, but he will take a little more money than he should...especially with his pedigree and connections.

I just don't see the others being competitive enough.

I'm going to use War Dancer. Plan will be to beat Verazzano and Palice Malice. I think Orb will be fine Saturday.... Pace will be hot enough.

So you figure the special efforts to heal Orb's pain aren't going to help make up 4 or 5 lengths?

Shug's present 'office' is at the Oklahoma track (Saratoga) on the first turn.

Orb was in Maryland.

Did Riot take over your identity?

Cause I've met you and you've changed.

Just heard Orb tweeted Zenyatta saying he's all right and is looking forward to possibly meeting her after winning the Travers tomorrow. Something about painting a canoe red and white but with no R.

Meanwhile today Zenyatta was busy updating her facebook page and painting a picture to send to Al's Uncle in an attempt to find a cub to court. Not sure where she's dining or with who tonight?

That's inside info.

OMG! Did you see the tweet that Bernardini sent out to @Orbcolt?

"Whatever dude. Sloppy seconds."

I took that to be general snark, not special knowledge of a particular boo boo.

thanks.

i just figured they sent him there for r and r, without actually shutting him down completely. of course they may do things a bit differently with orb then with some of their other horses. from what i've read, it's done him some good. too bad more horses don't get such treatment.

I'm not counting Orb out and like Palace Malice better than Verrazano.

What would you consider to be a good price on Transparent?
