Travers Day is here! 

If you are ordering the JJPP-CLASSIC, a separate e-mail with a special Travers’ Sheet will follow…

This years Travers, with an amazing lineup.  Always Dreaming – The Kentucky Derby and Florida Derby  winner, Cloud Computing – the Preakness Winner, Tapwrit – The Belmont Winner, Girvin — The Haskell (and Louisiana Derby Winner), Irap — The Blue Grass winner and a very and of course the Jim Dandy winner in Good Samaritan with nice compliment of others who actually figure somewhere in the mix.

There are none in this field that have put up speed figures that compare with Nyquist, Exaggerator, and of course Arrogate from the previous year or for that matter any of the past several years.  There are two exceptions to this speed figure comment a) Always Dreaming ran a superior number on the Slop in Kentucky and b) Good Samaritan has run first class races on the Turf.

In the Jim Dandy, Good  Samaritan dispatched the rest without breaking a sweat, but he will have to do more with these, he has plenty of ability – so we will see if he can up his Dirt game.  Girvin was looking pretty good when he seemed to have trouble in the KD.  His race at Monmouth in winning the  Haskell was visually impressive, but it wasn’t a very big speed figure…  but it may well be on the way to a big speed figure…

Anyway, this is really interesting and we are all hoping that this group of 3 year old colts begin to develop…  Right now, the top of the division looks like Tapwrit and , Good Samaritan with some maybes on  Girvin and West Coast and hopefully a rebounding Always Dreaming…

Today’s Race Day Plays

Our plays were both pretty good, Barbarossa ran a solid 2nd, while at odds of 5/2 and Boss Move was a WINNER and a true single at an overlay price of 8/5  ( if you are of the same mind as me, that Singles are basically 3/5 types — so 8/5 against 3/5 is a terrific overlay — think on it!)
