2024 DraftKings Travers Stakes - Can Thorpedo Anna beat the boys? Fierceness back? Sierra Leone?

[@willhendrickson972]

It’s tough for me to get past Dornach. Even if he loses, he’s not going down without a fight. He’s definitely shown the most heart of any of this crop and I’m confident he’ll give me a run for my money.

[@charleslockhart6778]

I cannot wait for this race. Dornoch is the best horse and should prove it here. If I had one wish it would be to see a stretch run that matches Dornoch and Sierra Leone stride for stride to the wire with Dornoch out fighting Sierra Leone again to solidify his place as HOY.

[@EasyGoer-e3z]

With a Very Particular Trip He is Good...Without it He is Average at Best...Dornoch Better be on or Near Lead Cause if Not He is Not Closing Down Horses in Stretch

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

Keep that gig u were blessed with.

[@jarrodgoldberg4904]

I always love to see a filly go at the boys but I just can’t get past Dornoch . The boy has been headed in the stretch twice and come back to win , most horses can’t do that ! He’s a scrapper and has alotta sand .

[@maryrichter2457]

Dornoch has been headed in the stretch and fought back to win THREE times. Don't forget that he did it as a 2 YO too when he got headed by Sierra Leone in the Remson.

[@marklewen9384]

Bj Hernandez HAS TO SEND like he did in ky oaks . rail and speed are GOLDEN at the spa.

[@FrankCarolei-lv6rb]

4 to 1 on Sierra Leone is insane, Mike and a quarter is his game

[@ValePlace]

😮 J.T. I rarely agree w you. But this time, you stole my thunder. Watched the filly in paddock - she looked sound but slightly footed. A trick i was taught many moons ago watching where they land their feet.

[@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork]

slightly footed?

[@ValePlace]

@@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork meaning where the back foot lands in conjunction to where the front one picks up.

[@ValePlace]

@@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork i watch 🤔 v closely as they walk. Also demeanor, head position, kidney sweat.

[@daviddaye960]

Thanks guys but right answer with Dornoch or Sierra Leone 😊

[@austinthomas9068]

I’m still going with Fierceness here. SL always finds a way to get 2nd or 3rd ,,, the trend continues.

[@_mattmiller]

Great show guys. If I wasn't on "lifetime tilt" on Sierra Leone, this looks like a terrific betting race and one in which Fierceness seems very interesting. Instead, it's a hard pass for me, but I'll be watching as a fan for sure!!

[@bobbylinning2348]

JK you and I need to sit down with your favorite beverage and you can bring Andy along and we can have a long great conversation 😃

[@raymondsherow]

JK, you've got possibly the 3rd 4th and maybe the 5th best 3yr olds in the country in the Travers because Dornoch has established himself as th 6:12 e best 3yr old in the country and the second best is Mindframe and hes back in the barn so if the public wants to so generously give me $8 lets go JK Pletcher doesn't have the 2 best 3 yr olds in the country and ecentualy that's what he would have if Fierceness were able to win so go ahead and feel safe about pitching him in your multi wagers oh and by the way you talk about Gargan at the moment being 0for 11 and your host laughs Gargan has his thoughts on taking down the Travers they'll be no laughing after Saturday Book It

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

J.k.u must be busy driving in that golf car or practicing yr handicaping not to answer back 4 a fair discussion. Keep that gig going. And have respect. God bless u.

[@jamsid33]

there is almost NO speed duel in ANY NYRA race, let alone a 1 1/4 race, so when Sierra Leone comes up short again people are gonna say the pace wasnt as fast as we thought it would be....why doesnt Chad put a rabbit in the race?

He did….Unmatched Wisdom

@@jeffbauer1609 ok, thanks so i guess it is now or never for SL

[@EasyGoer-e3z]

Anytime a Race Has Even a "Potential" Fast Pace These Analysts Act Like These Top Pro Jocks are Dumb and Will Involve Their Horses in Speed Duels in Such Huge Races

[@willhendrickson972]

@@jeffbauer1609 you really think Klaravich stables is entering their 450k colt to use as a rabbit for Chad? That’s a damn expensive rabbit. Will he help ensure a decent pace? Yes. But are they going to send him out to a 22 second opening quarter? I’ll be shocked if they do.

[@SauceDarzell]

Don't b surprised if the "other" CB horse wins w/ Irad on him, especially if the pace doesn't meltdown early 💯

Still waiting 2 hear back frm you j.k.

Undecided on the win yet, will be between 2/8, will box them in a exacta.

Anna should of raced in the Alabama she was my pick in the Ky Oaks but here in the Travers although a contender I won't be betting her to Win

[@rick-ug3rd]

Thorpedo Anna by 4 in a hand ride.

[@EasyGoer-e3z]

TA Has Been Cruising Against Her Division Geared Down in Stretch Making Me Assume She Can Probably Run Faster if She Needs to While The Males Been Pushed Hard to Run Fast The Entire Stretch of Races...She is in Razor Sharp Form and Does Not Need a Specific Trip to be Effective...Really Not Sure How She Will Perform Against Males But Lets Not Pretend The Males Have Been Burning The Clock into The Ground...Also Some of These Top Males are Questionable...Rooting For Fierceness Though

[@lewesleyacklin1408]

Yeehawww thank God I'm a hillbilly 🤠🍻

[@GloriousSong24]

I am licking my chops to bet against Sierra Leone. He hasn't proven to me he can run straight. Prat will have to get clear run on the fence or Sierra Leone is gonna come in on horses.

Those speedsters JK Dornoch and Thorpedo Anna seem to look now off the starting gates after a mile hence leaving SL with far too much to do Fierceness has to show he can trade punches with other speedsters as most of his win come when he is in control of the pace up front Thorpedo Anna is the new Rachel Alexandra on the block end of story

[@maryrichter2457]

I like Anna too ,, but let's not go crazy. Rachel ran a 116 Beyer in her Haskell Invitational. No one, male or female, has done that this year. No one comes close most years.

[@sethmorris8314]

I think it’s folly to immediately dismiss Corporate Power. Lightly raced, had zero setup in last, second off layoff. First time going 1 1 /4 for trainer that has won this race 4 times and for jock that has more wins than anyone in the colony going 1 1/4 at spa. If it plays out the way I think, he will be third to last in front of SL and HM and is a. MUST USE in all slots if one doesn’t want to blow up this weekend. Good luck with Sierra Leonne who offers zero value and has no interest in winning and has had try after try after try. I agree the setup is there but as a gambler it is insane to not use the other closers at 10x the price

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

That's true.

[@lou__13]

If Fierceness brings his A game again he'll sit 3rd n blow by Thorpedo Anna and Dornoch late

[@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork]

Fierceness is the fastest!

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

I had all 3 triple crown race winners. This one is toughest. Just going 2 go with the 3 closers s.l. c.p.and h.m. boxed. Japan based trainer almost beat all our top 3yr olds in k.d. trainer in here that's old school takes his time with horses and does best 4 the horse is shug.with c.p.even though all trainers in race are good. Blinkers on might wake h.m. up 4 late developer closer like honor code n honor a.p. and of course s.l a closer. Good luck 2 all.f.y.i. j.k fierceness not winning classic.

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

@jonathonkinchen2412 wow j.k. always here frm yr partner and not u. But thanks. I always say good things about u so don't get mad. In k.d I boxed s.l. m.d and t.ph. in pkness I closed out pk 5 with both lucas horses even though j.s. was better than s.t.g. but broke leg. Hit pk 5 3xs 4 over 30gr.

When will Sierra Leone put his nose in front at the finish line ? Dornoch has won his races already it is time for rest so to Fierceness which does not know to put two races good together which leaves the race for Thorpedo Anna the filly with plenty heart and much ability end of story

[@ramonortiz6665]

No I don't think she can't beat those horses 🐴

[@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork]

Many agree

[@ericobanzon8428]

Dornoch lost in blue grass because Chad brown 4 horses against Dornoch they put Dornoch inside the box

[@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork]

This could not be more wrong. Chad had 3 horses and none of them had anything to do with Dornoch. Danny Gargan admits he made a mistake trying to rate Dornoch. Chads other horses didnt even come close to Dornoch. Bizarre take.

[@chrisleos1235]

Brown used Top Conor as the sacrificial rabbit to set up Sierra Leone, Chad is not void of using his owners for his own benefit​@@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

So j.k picked the wrong horse fierceness in the k.d. now he comes off him to jinx sierra leone. Wrong again.

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

J.k picked fierceness in k.d. wrong. Picked a loser in the preekness. Wrong. Went with young up n comer in belmont. Wrong. Drives around in golf cart with the trainer of fierceness but does not pick in travers. Now so far away frm b.c.classis already without reading form fierceness will win. What a great handicaper 4 the people.

[@PhilipForan-p8v]

Sierra Leone is as fraud, lugged in on the kd, should have been dq in the Belmont, wasn't because CB at home track. It's a two horse race, Thorpedo Anna and Dornoch, she was way geared down in her last race crossing the wire and would've won by at least ten lengths in the Alabama, Fierceness is a lazy horse with better than average speed in an a very average crop type this year. I was hoping the Japanese would show up here, guess we wait for the BC for him. Let's see

[@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork]

Sierra is a fraud?

[@PhilipForan-p8v]

@@InTheMoneyMediaNetwork A FRAUD, I predict he will never win a GR 1 race and should have been DQ in both the KD and Belmont, he kind of got lucky in in those races at Fair Grounds, best of a bad group and will never duplicate that again. Just my opinion. But the DQ 's yup no doubt

[@marcrattet400]

Fraud always in the money I know a few races dornoch and fierceness were not even in the money so calling Sierra a fraud is a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jamsid33]

Fierceness can probably Beyer a 110, who else can?

[@CarlCarlson-k5p]

@jamsid33 what's his speed figure at a mile and a quarter. Loops. Let's hope he gets in the gate.
