149 Travers Stakes has Magic and Wonder
Eleven three-year-old colts and geldings will contest the 1 1/4 mile “Midsummer Derby.” The field includes Haskell and Jim Dandy winners Good Magic and Tenfold, Preakness and Belmont Stakes runners-up Bravazo and Gronkowski, and Queen’s Plate heroine Wonder Gadot.
The collective minds of the ThoroFan Handicappers and guest handicapper Zach Taylor from the University of Arizona Racetrack Industry Program offer their choices for first through third place and our best longshot bombs.
Good luck to everyone!

nicolle neulist is the only person on the panel that has a clue. Catholic Boy will win. not only does she have the horse on top,no of the other master minds on here have him picked top 4. good for you Nicolle
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right ...but he just looks like a turf horse to me.
DeleteI've handicapped horses long enough to know better than to discount any good horseplayer's opinion regardless of how unlikely it may seem to me. I wish Nicolle the best of luck with her pick. However, I would pit any of the masterminds above against anonymous in a capping contest.
Deleteim the original post of this, easy money right Nicolle?? Any schmuck can pick the favorite and take credit when it wins but it takes a true Handicapper to dig and go out on a limb like Nicolle did here. Great job! Maybe some of your cohorts will take some notes from you!
