Frankel entered Peace Rules and Shugs, alias \"Mr. Conservative\"/ alias \"Mr. Allowance Race Winner,\" entered Congrats.

I\'m thinking something\'s not right with Empire Maker. I\'m also thinking something\'s not rightin the head with the people who own
Funny Cide.

It\'s tough to get a table on Travers day unless you go at 7am when the gates open and stake your claim to a picnic bench or...have a horse running.

Upper Nile,

The last time an owner used that logic was when Mike Tabor told Lukas to run Deeds Not Words in the Derby.

Lukas was blistered by the media (whats new?)for running the horse because earlier in the week he had said he was not going to run and then entered. People said it was only to keep his Consecutive Derby Streak alive.

Deeds beat two horses.

Also when Frankel got The Penn Derby people to up the purse was he thinking of Empire Maker all along?

The only time the horse has run back on three weeks rest was from the Wood and the Ky Derby and you remember he wasn\'t a very healthy horse that day in KY. Hmmmm

Good point Silver Charm. I\'m praying \'Maker runs. He\'ll be 4-5, juicing up the odds on others like Ten Most Wanted who have just as good a shot.
