Sorry to blog and dash...but there's too much to be done, now that we know Trappe Shot has opted for the mile and a quarter Travers over the 7 furlong King's Bishop. We've got a few capping contests to get down and dirty with over the next two days, log a few Toga Party III contest selections, head down the Thruway for some horse racing (with my pops!) and back home in time to catch the Personal Ensign on Sunday evening on TVG.
In the meantime, I speed-capped the Travers and put together a Daily Double play and bet construction post over at ThoroFan's Handicapper's Corner (sponsored by the TBA), so you'll have an idea who I like on Saturday (and Sunday for that matter). Since they don't have a comment page, if you have something to say....feel free to comment here.
Arriba, arriba, heppa heppa, andalay, andalay.

The Travers looks to a have a lively pace including A Little Warm, whose breeding even makes it a stretch for him to get the 1 1/4 miles. Don't get me wrong, I like him a lot, but an additional furlong could be his undoing. If the pace is as hot as I think it will be including the maiden breaker as a wild card, the quarter could be 23 and two-fifths, the half under 48, three quarters 1:11 with those up front fading. As long as Fly Down is steered to the outside with clear sailing and he's right, he'll overtake them all...just a thought...
Toga Party picks:
D' Funny Bone
Afleet Express.
Happy Travers Day in the Adirondacks !
