Who do you think will win the Travers Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday?

Answer 1

Tale of Ekati or Mambo in Seatlle.  

Answer 2

Macho Again

I'll go with Pyro or Tres Borrechos.

Reasons are I think Pyro is the best and with Tres Borrechos I like Tyler Baze.

Answer 4

#3-Da'Tara

#6-Cool Coal Man

#10-Tres Borrachos

GL HF :) (I hope CCM wins!)

Answer 5

Tale of Ekati, Edgar Prado, 20-1

2. Colonel John, Garrett Gomez, 8-1

3. Da' Tara, Alan Garcia, 8-1

4. Tizbig, Cornelio Velasquez, 30-1

5. Macho Again, Julien Leparoux, 6-1

6. Cool Coal Man, John Velazquez, 15-1

7. Amped, Jorge Chavez, 30-1

8. Harlem Rocker, Eibar Coa, 4-1

9. Mambo in Seattle, Robby Albarado, 5-1

10. Tres Borrachos, Tyler Baze, 15-1

11. Pyro, Shaun Bridgmohan, 7-2

12. Court Vision, Kent Desormeaux, 12-1

Here is the line-up. I think Pyro has a good shot in this one.

Answer 6

I wouldn't take Pyro at anything under 9/2. I'm going to wheel and backwheel Tale of Ekati in the exactas as Barclay Tagg is still pretty high on this horse and this is a fairly weak field.  

Answer 7

I'm very surprised to see that so many people are overlooking Harlem Rocker!  I know he's been in Canada, so not a lot of people know him, but he's an excellent horse!  He didn't take a liking to the synthetic surface in one race, but he's been pretty spectacular in all the rest!

And what on earth is Court Vision doing in this race after he showed how much he prefers the grass?!?

I'll take Harlem Rocker, Mambo in Seattle, Macho Again, and Pyro as my superfecta box... although it pains me deeply to have to leave Tale of Ekati off the list!  And I am taking quite a chance by rejecting Colonel John.

Answer 8

Pyro is the morning line favorite but I would like to see Colonel John or Macho Again

Answer 9

I think it will be repeat of the Jim Dandy with Macho Again and Pyro. They both came out of the race well and now have a race over the course. Macho Again will be in well coming out of the 5 hole, while Pyro will be breaking from the 11. I'll probably hedge by playing both to win and box them with Harlem Rocker in the exacta.
