One of these days Untrapped will win a stakes race. I don't think it is this time.

Long Shot: Watch Me Whip.

Albarado must like him and he has the pedigree for the race. Leparoux is off Irap. I smell an upset.

I might use Brockton George in the exotics, if the price is big enough. He had some issues, but McPeek thinks he's the best 3YO in his barn?? TJ

I'd like to see Irap try the 'big boys' next time, rather than beating up in the grade 3 colts and geldings.

Hi Cree,
Yes, he's done well since he caught up to that big frame of his and could move forward:>) Would have to think we'll see him in the Haskell or the Travers after this win? TJ

I heard about this horse some time ago....he ran terrible in the LA Derby, but his trainer is known for winning at long odds. He re-surfaces today in Saratoga's 5th race on the turf. Should be 20 or 30-1 and I have to follow up:>) TJ
PS....McPeek has an unusual amount of horses entered at the Spa today...just ran 3rd and 4th in the 2nd at large odds...might keep an eye on him today??

Looks like McPeek was way off with this one...but he was carried wide from his outside post. He'll get one more shot....but strike three and he's out:>) TJ
