No Travers for Lucky

Postby ElPrado » Tue Aug 03, 2010 1:02 pm

I just got a Facebook message from Baffert. :
No Travers for Lucky. Woke up with a little Temperature ( 102.) but looks like he is not too sick and is responding well to treatment. Will have to stay on MP for probably another week till blood work looks good. Too bad because we were all starting to think Travers.

Hi El,
I'm surprised it took till almost noon yesterday for the article to come out inj DRF, which you posted the day before....good scoop:>) The second place finisher, Trappe Shot may go in the Kings Bishop instead of the Travers. Hopefully, Lucky may be able to rest on his achievements and become the 2010 3YO Colt Champ, without going to the Breeders Cup. This is the 2nd time he spiked a fever after a race, hope he gets over that. TJ

I think Trappe Shot may be a little more suited to the King's Bishop. He looks more the miler type to me. If he's still running next year, the Met Mile and Cigar may have some interesting talent. We've had some mediocre crops the last couple of years.
