At the very least, he's an interesting wildcard. I wouldn't put a dime on him at less than 10-1, but I'll be intrigued to see how he runs, not just in the Travers but the rest of the year as well.

You would think he has to be over 10-1, but who knows with the way Kent is talking and getting DRF articles and all...

Off odds probably above 12-1 Joe. If Trappe Shot doesn't go maybe under that 10 number.

So in a period of two days Desormeaux said that Paddy O' Prado is the best 3YO in the country and that he should have won the Derby had he not been steadied in traffic at the 1/4 pole then said that he'll be surprised if Admiral Alex doesn't win the Travers?
Has NYRA started the breathalyzer testing yet? NT

You can hear Blu, along with Tommy Roberts and Kip Elser, for 2 delightful hours recorded this afternoon and airing tomorrow 9a-12p on ATR. Outrageous series of racetrack stories from some legendary characters. Not to be missed.
And based on Blu's career, I wouldn't discount Admiral Alex' chances out of hand Saturday.

When you say Blu all I can think of is the old guy from Old School who dies jello wrestling with the topless girls....Then Will Ferrell sings Dust In The Wind. Terrific.

Blu knows he is not facing any "Point Given's" on Saturday. It's a weak crop of 3yo and Blu knows he has a legimate shot to run well. Alex will definately get the distance. Hey OTB personality Jeanne Wood is betting him with her new found money from her "under armour" clothing contract. That should make you "Run" to the window.

Under Armour doesn't give contracts to women shaped like that!
 I will place "courtesy bets" for minimal $ on horses run by Newsdesk guests from time to time. Blu will get one if the horse is a big price. He's such a character that I almost have to but Admiral Alex won't be my Travers choice.

Maybe Admiral Alex does have a shot at winning the Travers. Maybe he is one of the fastest horses around and only broke his maiden by one length so he wouldn’t embarrass the other horses.
