TGJB--
I agree with your view on the Travers. Paired tops for LH at speed favoring Monmouth....what now?
Is PURGE a better horse, more developed and now better able to bounce back off of his stellar effort in the Jim Dandy? Even his trainer says he would like a few more weeks.
Does nutcase EDDINGTON finally put it all together on Saturday and will his UNBRIDLED blood get him the trip better than the rest? Or will we all just have to wait for him to become a 4yo?
Is SIR SHACKLETON improving quickly or does his West Virginia race set him back??
Does BIRDSTONE prove his Belmont was no fluke off of a 12 week layoff?
Is TCE merely a plodder, better suited to quicker paces run at 1 1/8th? Does the starch get taken out of his late kick at 1 1/4??
Terrific, but tough race.
Good Luck,
joe B.
