Travers’ was a whow, certainly exciting, maybe a little disappointing if you loved a particular horse but no matter who you are, you have to agree it was a thrilling race. Will Take Charge and Moreno were certainly the right value plays that’s absolutely clear. I mean why take 3/1 or under on Verrazano, Orb or Palice Malice when Will Take Charge finished within 1 length of PM. Moreno looked like he had a reasonable chance to be loose speed on a track that had a nice Early Speed Bias. It wouldn’t be the first time a good horse – made and Easy Lead and won off at BOXCAR PRICES…. But you have to be looking at the Tote Board in Real Time. Although, I talked with Ralph Siraco that Will Take Charge has the look of a horse that has found the racetrack he likes and was very dangerous… Here is the most interesting point — I rated Will Take Charge in my TOP – and higher than ORB…. Congrats to the Coach, he is an enigma wrapped up in a riddle, but come to the big races and his horses seem to get a little better — congrats…
