Am I crazy, but are we supposed to be happy Pavel ran off-the-board (and almost beat two classic winners) simply because for about a furlong, he displayed the talent that was apparent in his previous race?
The race was a complete waste. It certainly didn't set him up for a big race in the Travers.

I agree with this, seems like a the wrong plan with a good horse, and this is after he ran well. I appreciate the trainer/owner having the guts to take chances, which has worked in the past, but this was a little bit of a reach.
