Mike,
I hear u about frosted. And u make a good point.
But I have to tell u, I am shocked to hear u mention upstart. U and I discussed him after the haskell. I thought he was terrible there. U saw some "sneaky run". One of two of my sharper handicapper buddies saw what u saw and despite not agreeing, I included upstart in my play in the travers. (Was also influenced by welsch going gaga over his works prior to travers.
Horse was worse than disgusting to me in the travers. Sat rail, off the leaders, who went head to head for mile and crawled late. Upstart lost ground versus two dead horses in stretch. To me "race track awful" as u like to say.
Wouldn't bet a wooden nickel on that horse. I am still disgusted I bet him last time.
What excuse u gonna give him this time. Over the top before derby, needed the haskell, bad in travers and now bounces back in 3 weeks.
No thanks
I would give Gimmedalute a mulligan for his last race and bet him. If anybody.
