Interesting pattern for REVERBERATE, if one is simply looking at the Travers from a Thorograph perspective.
Bounces off of a new top early in his 3yo campaign then comes back with a new top in his 3rd start of the year. Off of a 2 month layoff, he runs his 3rd new top and then improves off of it 3 weeks later followed by his Belmont debacle.
In the Jim Dandy, off of an 8 week layoff, REVERBERATE matches his top. A 2 point move forward (quite possible for a horse who has already run 4 new tops this year) and regressions by FA and RR, make him an interesting entry. Pedigree bodes well for the distance if we assume REVERBERATE is a more mature and stronger colt at this point.
Any opinions on a horse who may have a higher ceiling than the others.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
