Shoooo troll shoooo!! You are like an annoying little fly ngc3
Only serious gamblers here...no misfits allowed
Yet I am the one making a never ending victory lap
As I stated in my masterpiece yesterday..you misfits keep bringing it up,not me
Let it go man, not to difficult.
Don't do the same thing that you bashed Petrelli for earlier today.
Oh you ruined my thread. ngc3 Go back to that worthless thread you started and whine some more.
Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated  tmbz1

A tough race to handicap. I hit Baby Vino at a big price at Monmouth, but this is a deep field. We will be chatting this race up to post time!

This one goes out the the gamblers, but you guys do with this info what ya want tmbz1
I read an article the other day, can't remember where, that..
13 of the last 16 Travers winners including 10 in a row won their previous race
That wipes out half the field
That leaves..
Golden Tempo
Renegade
Sea Strike
Baby Vino
Leading Change

Furthermore 12 of the last 16 winners prepped in NY
That eliminates
Baby Vino
Leading Change

That leaves
Golden Tempo, Renegade and Sea Strike

Pick your winner from one of these 3, and go from there
I know, not really earth shattering
I am leaning towards Sea Strike, a monster in the making and gets Flavian, who opted for this horse over Emerging Market. He has the highest beyer in the field. JMHO

Forgive me but I never bashed Petrelli today..Go reread and you'll see that remark was to Come on Man..Its called reading comprehension.

My bad, I thought it was towards him since he responded to you
The point is the same though, you don't like anyone ruining your threads..
So don't come in and do the same thing to this one....Capiche tmbz1

Interesting theory. I think Napoleon could be the early pacesetter in this race. My Longshot win by Baby Vino in the slop in the Haskell probably won't be repeated. Unless we get a lot of rain there. Renegade will love some quick fractions and will be flying at the end. I think Emerging Market is over his head against this field. I'm always worried about The Puma. His fitness is always a question for me. If he's 100% sound, Castellano, might be in the number. He fits if ready. Leading Change will be tested with this deep field. He's undefeated. But only two starts. Pratt going to Sea Strike for Brown is an interesting angle. He'll be well bet off the change. Can he win? Maybe. He finished 5th in an allowance race last out. Golden Tempo will be the chalk at post time. I think he's the class of the race and if ready, he's your winner. Silent Tactic is trained by one of the smartest trainers in the game, Mark Casse. His owner Mark Oxley, is a sharp owner and together, they always are competitive with their entries. An injury kept him out of the Triple Crown. He's a stalker and should be up with the leaders early. Saez will have to rush this horse up early. And lastly, my favorite Maiden of all time, Ocelli, always has a shot in any race. If big bettors don't use him on the ticket, it's at their own peril. He's as game as they come.

Great analysis Dougie
One correction though
Sea Strike won his last start at the Spa in the Curlin..3 weeks ago

He destroyed the field including Chief Wallabee

Cool! It's going to be a good betting card at the Spa. I'l looking to invest $500 over three races.

Great card for sure
No betting all week for me.
Travers Day is all systems go.
Then no more betting until LBJ week.
Been my plan for months now

I've been wagering light too! I love Travers Day. Also saving my Bankroll for opening day at Belmont Park.
Very excited. Staying with family in Valley Stream NY. Not a far ride from Belmont.

Unfortunately, I can't get past Golden Tempo. Bet against him last time and he won from last into slow fractions on a track that was favoring speed that day. That was all the convincing I need.

yes I saw the facts you posted-pretty interesting

I have attended only one Travers--Stay Thirsty won and I didn't like him that day

as for this years Travers--i haven't decided yet. I liked Renegade but feel Irad gets the most out of him, and he wont be riding.

Golden Tempo ran over everyone's money in The Belmont-he could do it again

Baby Vino is interesting

I was on Renegade from the Derby all the way up until now
Totally agree about Irad tmbz1
It might be just using common sense and do exactly what LUCPARK said.
Golden Tempo until they beat him

As a rule I don't like dead closers from outside posts, some people say it doesn't matter but I prefer a closer to have an inside post so he can save ground and avoid getting caught wide.

No particular horse in mind but don't expect Golden Tempo to win, think he's being too highly touted now and the group is pretty well matched.

After the breakdown of past trends I posted on page 1 of this thread I am leaning Sea Strike. Will probably be 3rd choice on the odds board
Title: Re: Travers
Post by: Lockedin with Pace on August 26, 2026, 08:05:54 PM
As a rule I don't like confirmed closers because they tend to be over bet and are at the mercy of the pace and are normally closing on the slowest part of the race when the front end falls apart.

still fatigued from yesterdays marathon

here is some early SPA chalk to get the day rolling

race 2--#6 Sculcos Folly--has significant class edge

race 3--#2 Lightning Strike--has the speed to wire these

good luck to everyone on another long day tmbz1
