Filly is a super nice horse and would have won most Travers, just happened to run into a genuine monster. I understand the disappointment, but she and the connections can still hold their heads high. Alydar had the same problem.

What a fun day of racing, and lots of great discussion here.  These days are why we love this game.

Society made my day thx JB

This is a GR1 forum

Go across the street and its like watching 3k claimers at Assiniboia Downs on a Tuesday night

Enjoy your Weekend. Can\'t wait for the NFL week 1, gonna be another profitable season

The trifecta paid a little over twice as much as the exacta, so including SL really wasn\'t a bad idea, especially if you thought the 1-2 finishers were the most likely to run 1-2.
Personally, I boxed the exacta & the tri & hit them both using only those 3. I\'ve basically given up on SL, but I still wasn\'t sure enough to toss him because of the projected hot pace. I played all 3 in front & back DDs, but at the odds I had to throw a win bet on Fierceness & added an extra DD with Fierceness & the 14th race winner.  
Basically the Travers made my day, in part because SL finished 3rd.

Kenny and Repole were both in the vicinity of the Winners Circle post race laughing and nearly high fiving. They both had proved their points and McPeek probably Joked \"you owe me afree Stallion Fee when I breed her to him\" and Repole probably replied \"Done Deal\". Sportsmanship

As far as SoCal and his breakdown of Fierceness I have been through this. Champagne Day the weather was so horrible I would not blame anyone for not showing up. Forget just the Track. Sheets of rain were coming. It was cold. First out in Florida he leaves tje gate in no rush at all. Ranges up turning for home looking like a winner and finishes like he was two works short. Derby was the real head scratcher but if you stayed with the horse you got your money back yesterday. At the 1/8th Pole he made that price look like a gift. And then the Filly came and tested his heart. He gave you an answer there.

Numbers wise it\'s going to look predictable I bet. Fierceness another Neg 1. The Filly another 1. And Sierra Leone another 1. She had the rail trip and got 5lbs. If it makes you feel any better one of the best handicoappers around Ron Anderson was wrong. They were NOT gonna give up ground loss to avoid kick back.She relaxed. She angled out. She saw her target and FIRED. Today I heard she is pissed in her stall. Never gonna happen again was her attitude

Yes Society was clearly the day maker. Great call in the seminar.
Did well in the Travers too, although if Thorpedo gets by its
a home run instead of a double. Just a great day of racing tho.

Perhaps on the far turn, but the GPS chart has Fierceness running an extra 30 ft
