Oh well, maybe next time. Are you going to stick with TT in the Travers? Should finally get a real price off the non-effort, plus back to 10f.  |
I doubt I’ll be playing him back, but I want to see the field. I didn’t really “like” him. I was trying to beat the Baffert and if Mage was going to be a bit short I had to settle on someone else. There were a couple of lightly raced horses (including the winner) I thought could jump up, but I had no special insight into which one. So TT just became a default option.
