As Brown is overpowering the Spa Cards with multiple favorites and winners on the big race days, along with spread entries in most of the grass stakes fields, Pletcher is forced to sit and watch it.
16 wins this meet to 33 barely explains the domination. After Brown cleaned housed on the Arlington Million Card, swept 3-4 races on Haskel Day, the shift in the balance of power has been incredibly swift.
I doubt he or anyone in the barn has let up. and I do think his horse in the Travers has a punchers chance at decent odds. 10-1 ML. The negative number in the Wood set him back a little. He made a menacing move in Belmont and flattened. He was lightly trained for the Dandy and yanked way back early in that soft field. The late finish is a little fools gold as the winner got goofy. This looked like a complete prep race.
