The Travers

[Halo Fire]

Let\'s assume Big Brown DOESN\'T run.

Let\'s also assume The Travers entrants are, basically, the Jim Dandy runners as well as Colonial John, Tres Borrachos, and a couple others from the West Coast.

What kind of price is Harlem Rocker?

I would guess PYRO would be a luke-warm favorite. (Personally, I can\'t see him winning at 1 1/4).

Harlem Rocker....at best, 5-1.

I\'m thinkng if BB wins easy at Monmouth on Sunday, he\'s headed for the Travers. Now triple your HR price.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

Mambo In Seattle will be the wise-guy 2nd choice. if HR\'s last sheet fig is exceptionally fast, I could see 5 or 6-1. otherwise, 8-1 to 10-1.

is he a confirmed runner?

According to Pletcher, \"We are strongly considering the Travers\".

Here\'s the story I read:

I give Harlem Rocker a 25% chance (3-1) to beat those horses. If you\'re going to tell me I might get a 100% overlay, maybe more, I\'d be very interested in making that bet.
