  • MarlanaWalters · I'm a bit worried too, he ran terrible last year at Saratog. And because Romans said he was so tired for almost six week after his last race.

  • AmbitiousD · I think he's fine with the racing surface, I think it was the 10f that he didn't like. Also, he looked very agitated and sweaty before the Travers, which was nothing new for him, but he has certainly matured as a 4yr old. I expect a sparkling performance from him on Sunday · 290 days ago ·
