2-4 are both decent horses... if he beats these easily, then he's a very serious horse

Mint Lane isn't even close to being in his league. . .

[Revidere]

Oh, Lt. Ron is running???????

[Strategic Mission]

This race won't be close. I just wonder if he runs in the Dwyer, Jim Dandy, or Haskell.

Icabad isn't very good. . . and I'll reserve judgment on Casino Drive - but I doubt he's "monstrous." Anything close to UH's debut and he wins geared down. Now, obviously, he could end up not being very good. . . but he has more potential than the rest of this field put together.

zitos horse is not bad either, the horse he beat in his last, came back to win nicely... mamboinseattle, i think

It's a bit early to say Travers winner, but it shall be interesting to see how he runs.

[horseofcourse]

How in the heck does everyone already know who is going to win the Travers...and the worst part is I'm getting different answers already?? What gives? Someone at least give me the 10 or 11 or 9 or 7 or 13 horses in the starting gate first.

Hey Coach, Where is that S. T. Captain Photo......when we need it ?

The Triple will be........ 8 / 2 / 5

Some horses that ran behind Unbridled's Heart have come back to improve dramatically off that race. Impressive firsters can be flashes in the pan but I will be very surprised if Unbridled's Heart doesn't accomplish some serious things if he stays sound. I have seen very few debut performances, at least in the last few years, as impressive as his.

For what it's worth he was schooling in the Belmont Paddock during the day yesterday.

am i the only one who thinks the 2 and 4 are improving horses, with great connections and they both have a chance to win ?

[The Bid]

Spurrier can win, infact should

admirality, should get a great setup and with a forward move, he could be the one.

his second to casino was not bad.... it all depends on what you think of casino.. the number was strong enough

I think it's funny that most everyone has been talking about how weak this year's 3YOs have been and yet when an exciting one finally appears people are suggesting that the morass of mediocrities are somehow going to beat him.

I'm excited to see him run, but "Travers Winner Runs Friday" is probably going to elicit some negativity.
