8/26 (SAR): 148th Travers Day (5 G1's, G2 undercard)

[Seattleallstar]

Sadler's Joy winning has absolutely ruined my day, I am usually not upset after a day at the race but the old saying pennywise and a pound foolish comes up again. I don't know if I am more upset that i was already thinking of putting him the plays or the fact that he won and the other horses I selected didn't win. I knew that damn Money Multiplier would find a way not to lose, plus the two Euros ran throw out races. Saratoga and Del Mar are real funny tracks

Same here i blew out of 8 multi race bets. 2 huge pick 5s that had 6 deep in Travers and all in the last.

These commentators are lazy. Irap went wire-to-wire in the Blue Grass and took advantage of a paceless race?

Sharp move by Mike Smith to gun for the lead. That horse had never shown that kind of speed in his stakes races (but did in some of his others). The race was sort of indecipherable because of the pace scenario. Didn't have faith that Always Dreaming would have the mustard despite the speed advantage.

On the other hand, Rosario was nuts with Good Samaritan nearly 20 lengths of the pace. There was no pace on paper, why would he stay so far back? The sad part is, the horse came rolling when finally asked which to me suggests that he has gears and is not reliant on a pace meltdown. Perhaps if he had Gunnevera's or maybe even Irap's trip he could have made a dent.

I agree with all of this. My father boxed 3,5 and we both feel Rosario gave the 5 way to much to do.
Mike won the race right out of the gate.

Songbird actually won. You idiots just haven't seen the real photo.
