It will never happen, If and I mean IF he runs again, it will be The Haskell at Monmouth, They always treat Baffert like a King, and they always roll out the red carpet for him, and he loves it, and is very successful in that race, and not so successful in The Travers, He will not race AP in a race that he might lose.

As explained to you before....Travers highly unlikely.

If the horse is 100% right:
Haskell
Pacific Classic
BCC

He's taking the Bayern route to close out the year!

(Fingers crossed)

Why is the Travers unlikely for American Pharoah?

So your back to being a dick? Its cool. Why does your above comment matter? He has run multiple horses in both races.

Yes, I never really left.

I did read something though where he said something to the effect that he prefers Monmouth.

You've been pretty cool latley. I agree about Monmouth but I think Saratoga is the highest level in racing and the connections will feel a sort of responsibility to run him here. I honestly think the it's good for the game stuff is silly, but AP running at Saratoga would be good for the game.

I think your 3 make the most sense. Haskell because the owners are from Jersey. The Travers and Pacific classic come up to quick and are couple months out from the BC. The Awesome Again is probably 5 weeks out from the BC and would seem like perfect spacing.
